Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  2. 2. Maintain a flat back — a dowel on the spine can serve as a real-time reference.
  3. 3. Set neutral wrists — spread fingers wide for a larger base of support.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Add a perturbation (partner tap) or unstable surface to increase reactive demand.

Common Problems:

Lower back sagging — cue posterior pelvic tilt and rib cage down. Hip rotation on limb extension — slow down and reduce range.
