Gin has got a very unique body structure. Her rib bones are very extended down to her low waist, that she has got limited mobility from her thoracic upwards and chest cavity. A little protruding of the last few rib bone at her upper waist.
I used to think of all ways to get her spine a little more flexible. But later, i realise that unless i break her into parts, otherwise i'll have to respect her original body strcuture. And work within her bodily capacity.
Following her father's body frame with very stiff joints, worsen by her daily posture and stress from work. One particular thing we like to talk about is her toes. The upper joints are sinking in, and the lower joints are almost fused together. Together with her ankles--- no problem with flexing; terrible in extension.
She got into a downward dog position, and with one feet at a time, she'll roll her toes in and out several times. And the same exercise can be progress in a plank pose, where more pressure will be shift towards the toes and ankles. Eventually, to get the flexibility and strength of the area--- rolling on both feet together with the palms supporting in plank ( not there yet!).
I learnt that each of us is born with various body type, different dosha combination. There's no point to compare with others; the same instruction cannot be use on all--- it doesn't work. Sometimes, pushing too much to the limit may not make us a happier and better person.
