Instructions

Setup

  1. Start in a downward-facing dog position: hands and feet on the floor, hips pushed high, forming an inverted V-shape with your body.

Movement

  1. Pike Phase: From the starting position, bend your elbows to lower your head toward the floor, keeping your legs as straight as possible.

  2. Kicking Phase: As you push back up to the starting position, lift one leg off the ground and sweep it under your body and out to the side while rotating your hip to perform a kick.

  3. Return: Carefully return your foot to the floor and back to the starting downward-dog position.

  4. Repeat: Perform the next repetition by driving the opposite leg through for the kick.
