TIPS:

  • Notice when you fall out of posture, you have to usually either moved your eyes to look at the teacher or someone else, thought about the end of the posture, or thought about not being “able” to hold the posture. The posture will be a lot easier if you avoid these three things
  • Instead, listen to your own breath with your eyes focused gently on one spot in front of you (beginners can try focusing on the floor for balance)
  • Try to use the while leg in the kick
  • As you advance, work towards keeping the kicking leg hip down, with both hips in one line
