Can I ask what is the "fold"?

[colcamp]

I guess i would describe the fold as the point when you suck your stomach in to allow for a deep bend. You rib cage drops and you actually kinda fold (just below your chest) I came to the conclusion about 2 moths ago that it wasnt my back now holding me back it was the way my stomach was or wasnt. Sucking in your gut makes a huge difference you actuallly enter a whole new stretch position. Relaxing certain muscles while in the fold make a huge difference for breathing purposes. I new of the fold before i ever did it, but didnt understand it till i did it. Does that make sence?


Anyway hope i helpecd a bit...im sure some of the more senior guys here could elaborate more or better.

Ah thats interesting, I dont believe I suck my tummy in (that I am aware of) I know I get awful burps though So do you breathe right in before folding?

I really appreciate your explaination and will give it a try when my poor pulled shoulder muscle has had a chance to heal....

[colcamp]

my breathing always stays the same...smooth an steady...as you suck in your gut it allows the ribcag to adjust into place...it;s not till i am good and warm and have been stretching for awile that i can do this move. But your breathing should be under control all the time, it allows me to take things deeper while breathing steady.
