I used to really hate the Seal. It hurt my elbows and felt like I was just hanging off my shoulders and hips. I really didn’t get it! Classes I was in would talk about beating my feet like a “seal” and I have to be honest I never even knew what that meant. Then finally after a few years of teaching, I discovered some deep connections and layers to this exercise. I even know an instructor who uses the Seal as a “check-in” for what she still needs to open or connect to in her body. So, the Seal! A rolling exercise that challenges what you know but doesn’t make you be an actual Seal.
