Warming-Up in Lunge (Seven)
A deep lunge with the back knee lifted and one forearm on the floor, the chest rotating open toward the ceiling with the top hand behind the head.
How to do it
Setup
Deep lunge, back leg straight with the knee off the floor, one forearm on the floor inside the front foot, the other hand behind the head.
Steps
- Turn the chest open, leading with the top elbow toward the ceiling.
- Turn back until the elbow points at the floor.
- Keep turning slowly, then switch sides.
Common mistakes
Pulling on the head with the hand: it only rests there. Hips rising as the chest turns: keep them low. Back knee sinking: press the back heel away.
Breathing
Exhale into the turn, then breathe evenly in the hold.
