00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:47,247 you are not able to lift your chest or garner 16 00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:49,750 any length in the spine, if you feel like you're here, 17 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:52,185 it might be a good idea to lift the hips 18 00:00:52,185 --> 00:00:56,223 so that you can find a lift and a grounding 19 00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:57,724 in the lower body. 20 00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:00,861 So we'll come into a nice, comfortable seat, 21 00:01:00,861 --> 00:01:03,196 and we're actually gonna start with a big hug, 22 00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:04,196 which sounds kinda cheesy, 23 00:01:04,196
