Google eens op tteam en Belly Button. Zo heet de touch die jullie bedoelen.

Pilates with Richard Dilworth
Many people had not experienced this form of exercise so Richard gave us a brief introductory session. The technique has great similarities with Alexander Technique in that it was pioneered by one man who overcame his own physical/health problems through designing this exercise programme. It puts great emphasis on "core stability" and correct (thoracic) breathing. You may have heard the expression "zip and hollow" which requires you to engage the pelvic floor muscles and allow the belly button to "sink" towards the spine on the out breath. We spent a great deal of time mastering these essential principles and most of us found that it was quite difficult to maintain them whilst doing the simplest of exercises! However, this is only a layman's interpretation (mine!) so to really find out what it is about, you should ask an expert! I found it had great similarities to Tai Chi, Yoga and Alexander Technique and that it was enormously useful to horse riders. Hopefully we will do some more on future courses.

De "belly button" is de navel, de touch voor het optillen van de buik heet "belly lift". Die heb ik inderdaad ook geleerd met vingers op de buiknaad net achter de singelplek, hij staat nu in het boek beschreven met een handdoek onder de buik door (door 2 personen, dus).
