 Hi Bob 

  Your IST question is a good one 

 Tucking in the tail bone is not a result of the song gong elavator exercise 

   In IST beginning practice you have your mind Gently guide ,roll your tail bone inwards , this position is needed for correct Zhong ding alignment and equilibrium

   With time and correct method your tailbone will be in a natural, tucked in position at all times. It does not come in and out as you are doing the elevator exercise.

  When you are doing the elevator exercise, the Ming man and the tailbone will expand and contract via the energy not the physical

   When one’s Song is refined, you will internally be aware of your Chi energy guiding Ming men & tailbone movement action 

   Gently folding in the Kua will not cause your butt to stick out, called 

 “ treh p Goo “ in Chinese. 

   In summary, developing internal Song will provide you a more deeper understanding to my above explanation

   Continue to ask questions because your curiosity is one part of your overall learning IST  👏

  See you tomorrow, Wednesday for practice, Bob ?
