What is a key focus when lifting in the Teaser variation?

In the Teaser variation, a key focus is on maintaining a flat-back position and neutral pelvis. This aspect is crucial for ensuring proper alignment and avoiding strain during the exercise. Keeping the spine neutral helps in activating the core muscles effectively, promoting stability and control throughout the movement.

Additionally, maintaining a flat back enables the practitioner to engage the abdominal muscles fully while working against the force of gravity as they lift the legs and torso simultaneously. This focus on core engagement and proper alignment is fundamental to the integrity of the Teaser, allowing for a safer and more effective practice.

In contrast, focusing solely on engaging the hip flexors, relying on the lower back for support, or keeping the arms close to the body would detract from the primary goals of core stability and alignment, potentially compromising the overall effectiveness of the exercise and posing a risk of injury.
