Exercise sequence
- Notice support beneath each sole.
- Move pelvis a small distance toward the nose while coordinating legs.
- Return to the original support.
- Repeat toward tail and return.
- Compare with a shoulder reach that leaves the pelvis unchanged; explain the difference.
Transfer

Errors addressed
