"The next thing I will show is called the Inverted Maya. Again, it is like the Maya, but it is going backwards. Again, you want to making sure you are keeping yourself in correct posture. Make sure you are keeping that chin lifted. Shoulders level and your knees slightly bent. Actually, the more you bend them with this move, the bigger of the movement you are going to get with the hips. So again, you want to start bent. You want to push your hip up, out to the side. And, you are going to bring your hip up by bringing your heel up. And, bring it down. You are almost creating a half-moon here. So, straight down. Out and up. Drop. Out. Push and up. And, drop. Again, rolling out on the foot. Bringing it up. Your heel is up right now. And, drop the heel down. Push it out to the side. Around and up. And, drop. Again, it is like a half-moon. And, drop. Now, for the other side. Make sure you are bent. Push it out to the side. Around and up on those toes. And, drop. Around out to the side. Up, and drop the foot. Around, out, and up. And, drop. We are going to put it together. So, we are going to start on your right side. We are going to drop. Push out and up.
