How to move
- From a standing or lunging start you hinge forward until the torso and the lifted back leg make one long line near horizontal, hips level, arms reaching forward, back along the body or out to the sides.
Practice and cautions
Hold 15 to 25 seconds per side, 3 rounds, hands on a wall at hip height while you are learning the shape.
Leave it alone while a hamstring or low back injury is settling. Keep the lifted leg lower rather than arching the low back to raise it.
