Turning the Waist, Up and Down

Today, we paid attention to turning the waist, keeping the shoulders and hips in good alignment. The turn through the waist should be easy and smooth. Each time, keeping the back open, the shoulders over the hips and the body well placed over the feet. My standard admonition to not push into the knee, push into the heel as we sink down through coiling snake. The idea is to keep the hips open so the legs can move to twist all the way down to the floor.

I covered three sets:

10. Shaking the Tail Feathers

13. Stir the Grass Seeking a Snake

15. Coiling Snake
