Hey! Awesome video. I have a question. Demo 2 from this video. The left side of the figure shows the abdominal stretch/thoracic. But the right side pinches, so I was curious why that's represented with an asymmetrical curve opposing the thoracic? I'm probably overthinking it haha. I Understand we aren't drawing contour, so I am guessing that is just a representation of the motion of the twisting torso. Thanks for any insights!

Yep, you got it! Thats exactly what I was thinking. You could draw it differently and still get a good result though. I don't think you're wrong in your observation.
