You start by putting your toe on the ground; pretty much at the same relative place as the opposite heel. One circles the ankle off to the side and then inwards and it comes up and around. The toe remains on the ground. Next in the warm up routine is an exercise to open the knees, and there are several stages to this exercise. One starts with the feet pretty much underneath the shoulders.
