Ever see my students progress photos and wonder how their turnout gets so much better, without us even working on turnout? Check this out! If the deep stabilizer muscles in the lower back need strengthening and the psoas is stabilizing the spine, this can block access to your standing leg turnout. Try this test to see if it has any impact on your ease of turnout. If so, start by stabilizing the lower back, and you’ll reach your turnout goals a lot faster!

A side note, the first time I did this I didn’t notice any change until I had my hands physically supporting my spine as my spine was not stable enough for the towel to even help. Best to work with a movement professional to find out for sure!
