Ok, so I have been 100% successful in teaching belly rolls, but currently, I have a student who is having a hard time. She can contract the muscles for the roll and feel them rolling down, but she absolutely cannot push the opposite parts out while rolling. Does this make sense??? I always tell them, when you pull one part IN, push the other parts OUT! We start with just pulling in, pushing out, then move to seperating our tummies into 2 parts, and in out, in out, with each part. Then we seperate into 3 parts and in, in, in, then out for a rest. Once they get this we then move to 10 parts, like strips of bacon on your belly, and roll very slowly and controlled. Well, the student in quesition does the whole thing with her tummy pulled way IN, and I just dont know how to describe the push it OUT part.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any words of wisdon would be super helpful!
Thanks tribeys!!
