Just a quick question - what is meant by lift and "cinch"? I've not heard this phrase or word in this context, we don't use it in the UK.

Usually, the cue to "cinch" refers to the engagement and knitting together of the abdominals to create a tight core. The best analogy for this would be if someone was putting on a corset, and tightening the laces to cinch the waist.

In this case, Courtney is asking the practitioner to create that same feeling through the obliques as the body moves through the flow.
