Step 1
Start standing tall with your shoulders rolled back and relaxed and your neck lengthened. Bend your knees slightly with your feet shoulder width apart to help you balance during this step.
-
Step 2
Lift your right hip up, as if you were trying to sit up on a high stool or ledge. Push it up, over and down in a smooth arc and back to the center. Isolate the movement just to your hip area, keeping your upper body still and straight.
-
Step 3
Complete the figure 8 by repeating the same motion on the left side. Move your left hip up, over and down in the same seamless motion and continue back to the center position.
-
Step 4
Put the two small circles together and do them one side, then the other without stopping in a continuous flowing motion. Do this a number of times in a row to do the figure 8.
-
Step 5
Make it more exciting by using your arms in a gentle arching motion at your sides. Any extra movement, big or small will really enhance the vertical figure 8 you are doing with your hips.
