Hi Everyone!
I am making happy happy progress in half moon. When I started I did the usual – pushed too far without the proper form. Then I started paying attention to my form but still am struggling. I started to experience a strange warning sensation (tiny bit of pinching) in my mid/lower back and realized that something was not right. I am now really focused on tightening my core (especially lower abs) and feel much much MUCH stronger, with no back pinching sensations.
I am wondering though about how far back I should be starting with my arms in terms of the set up. Should my shoulders be back past my hips, which are tilted forward? I know I do tend to curl forward with my upper body as I mover sideways, so I am trying to find what I should be looking for so my upper body begins in the correct set up position.
Any suggestions are welcome,
