Question: Which picture shows the correct position?
Photo A
Photo B
Answer: Photo A
In Photo A, Rie's shoulders are over the hips. The Scapular are stabilized. Her weight is at the back of sit-bones, the lumbar spine is in slight flexion and the thoracic spine is lengthened.
In Photo B, Rie's shoulders are overly elevated and not stabilized (the hands should be on the carriage) and her weight is too far back of the sit-bones.
