What modification can be made to the teaser prep exercise?

Bending the knees is a modification that can significantly help individuals who may struggle with the Teaser prep exercise or who are at a beginner or intermediate level. When the knees are bent, it decreases the load on the abdominals and reduces the lever arm length, making it easier to roll up into the teaser position. This modification allows the practitioner to focus on engaging the core and maintaining proper alignment without overwhelming themselves with the full extension of the legs.

By bending the knees, the body can gradually build strength and control in the core muscles. It serves as a foundational step that helps align the pelvis and spine correctly while providing sufficient support and stability to prepare the body for more advanced variations in the future. This approach is particularly beneficial for those who are still developing their strength or coordination.
