Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Maintain a flat back — a dowel on the spine can serve as a real-time reference.
  3. 3. Knees hover one inch off the floor; this baseline creates foundational tension.
  4. 4. Breathe into the back of the rib cage to maintain core pressure without flaring ribs.

Regression:

Reduce the lever arm — keep limb extensions shorter until the base position is stable.

Progression:

Progress to a single-limb support: three-point bear position then dynamic movement.

Common Problems:

Head drooping — keep eyes looking down and slightly forward to maintain cervical neutral.
