From a deep squat or ‘ape posture’ Kick one leg out to the side and sweep in inward until its straight in front of you Place your hand on the floor outside the extended leg’s hip and shift your weight onto that hand as you simultaneously retract the extended leg into the deep squat while beginning the side sweep on the opposite side Start slow, and progressively move faster as your movement becomes more smooth Make sure to maintain a vertically aligned spine throughout the movement
