Correct execution within exercises yields the results that require concentration and effort from both the client and the teacher. In the first lessons, the organization of the pelvis can be relatively simple. The goal is to slowly and methodically improve organization and apply this to movement. As the client progresses, organizational cuing becomes more detailed and refined. The teacher will recognize that subtle postural changes are necessary but discover that the words are hard to find. This is especially true when cuing the coccyx. What does it mean to say tailbone down? What do we mean when we say the pelvis is tucked? The functional spine also includes the sacrum and the coccyx which join to form the sacral coccygeal joint. The sacrum and coccyx can move independently but are connected. They are a team. Applying imagery and anatomical cues specific to the tailbone can assist with better results when applied to Mat and equipment. When clients change, they feel the difference and teachers feel empowered.
