English term or phrase: pull your navel toward your spine
Quisiera saber cómo decir esta frase en español en la forma menos truculenta posible ;-). Aquí va la oración completa:

When you “**pull your navel toward your spine**,” as you’re instructed when doing core work or Pilates work, you are using transversus.

Estoy traduciendo un texto sobre dolores musculares, dirigido al público general.

Spanish translation:pegar el ombligo a la columna vertebral
Explanation:
From a web-page explaining Pilates exercises:
"Mantén tu tórax elevado y el abdomen hundido durante todo el ejercicio pegando tu ombligo a la columna vertebral de tal modo que tus caderas estén completamente estabilizadas. Imagina que estás anclado al suelo a través de tu ombligo."
