How to do it

  1. Set up. Stand on one leg holding a wall or rack, then hinge forward until your torso is roughly level.
  2. Move. Slowly rotate your pelvis open towards the ceiling, then turn it back down towards the floor.
  3. Finish. Move only as far as you can control. Stand tall and swap legs after the set.
