Skin the Cat – Step in From Floor

CUES:

  • Set the rings to shoulder height to begin
  • Cling to the rings and step one leg at a time to tuck position
  • Raise the other leg and lean back to allow the body to flip backwards
  • Slowly straighten the arms as you lean back with control and focus
  • Reach with the legs to receive the floor before significant stretch in the shoulders takes place
  • With the legs on the floor bend the knees to allow your weight to gently pull the shoulders into the greatest shoulder extension that is comfortable for you
  • Stand to exit

Mistakes:

  • Bending the elbows after you are flipped over
  • Coming back out how you came in. Don’t do this. Stand up with your legs and walk away.
  • Exiting after feet hit the ground without engaging an active stretch for the designated time
