Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Progress from stability to mobility drills only once the base position is solid.
  2. 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  3. 3. Knees track directly under hips and hands directly under shoulders at the start.
  4. 4. Avoid collapsing into the supporting shoulder — actively press the floor away.

Regression:

Perform the pattern seated or standing before transitioning to the floor-based position.

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.
