F 17 Split Form Inflection EN

From standing, hinge at the hips and bend the knees, lean the weight to the right leg and step the left leg back, hips width apart.

So check here first as you straighten out through the right leg to make sure that your feet are hips width apart and your feet are no more than a meter apart really.

Well again, this really depends on the height but it’s not really a long step back.

Maybe a meter, a little bit less or a little bit more, depending on the length of your legs or your height.

And we’re trying to make sure that that back foot is pointing straight forward and not out to the left side.

So again, we’re trying to gauge here where the length of the Achilles and the calf muscle is allowing for the heel to stay down as the foundation for this form.

Now as we grip the legs away from each other, we want to draw the right hip back a little bit to sense how the hips become level or square to the front.

Draw the shoulders down here once and place the hands onto the waist.

Allow for the upper torso to come in line with that back extended leg initially.

What we want to do here first is really stabilize sense the stability of the upper torso with that leg.

And then from there we want to start to engage the flexion of the upper spine, broadening the shoulder blades away from each The head just drops as a natural movement of that spinal flexion.

And when we get into a nice flexion position, we want to start to activate the legs away from each other as we find the midline, again, nose, chin, sternum, pubis, flexing down and forward between the imaginary line between both legs.

This is our grid line between both legs.

As we start to extend now, we may have to compensate to come up as usual.
