2016, Tour de SAC
Purpose: Humorously referred to as “the mother of all sit-ups”, the Teaser tests your powerhouse control to the fullest. At the peak of the exercise, momentarily hold the position, “teasing” the balance.
- Lie on back; legs extended out on a mat; arms overhead. Heels together; toes turned out slightly.
- Maintain the scoop; inhale; raise arms, head and shoulders, peeling upper body off the mat vertebra by vertebra; simultaneously lifting legs into a “V” sit.
- Hold the “V” position, balance on the tailbone. Exhale; roll spine down onto a mat.
- When head & heels touch the mat, stretch arms overhead to the starting position & repeat; inhaling as you float up; exhaling as you peel down.
Visualization: As you roll down, imagine each vertebra touching the mat the way your fingers travel on the keys of a piano.
Checklist:
- Head stays in line with spine. Fingertips toward toes. Legs stretched long.
- Don’t allow the upper body to touch mat before lower body or vice versa.
- Take your time, relax your mind and find your rhythm as you go.
Modification: Any difficulty sitting up all the way, slightly bend the knees, as you lift & lower body. Any back discomfort, perform Teaser with legs against a wall.

At Evergreen Escapes, we believe that adventure travel is transformative by nature. It challenges your perceptions and abilities, removes you from your comfort zone, and pushes you to reach a higher self. Transformational travel is an embrace of this ethos. It’s about accepting the call of adventure, traveling with intention, and allowing the unknown to drive personal or professional growth Namibia is a land of transformation.
The Namibia Journey of Discovery affords you the chance to experience the endless deserts, ancient cultures, and magnificent wildlife of the country in a very personal way. On this 12-day expedition through Namibia, you will be taken on a life-changing journey of personal exploration, discovery, and transformation facilitated by Michael Bennett, Ed.D., of Muddy
