Cues:
- Create vertical alignment from hands through shoulders, hips and feet first
- Reach tall and out with one foot and strongly engage the core to shift weight more into hands
- Reach only as far as necessary and do the rest of the work with your body positioning
- Lightly support against wall with top of other foot
- Slowly press taller and tighten the core to lighten and eventually pull the assisting foot away from the wall
- Keep both toes actively pointed
Mistakes:
- Breaking alignment through the shoulders, spine or hips
- Tapping off the wall with the foot – Create balance and lighten the wall contact through the hands and shoulders instead.
