Upward Hip Figure 8
Place feet close together, weight on one foot. Lift that heel and push ball of that foot into floor, straighten knee allowing that hip to move upward. Then let the weight shift and fall onto the other foot and repeat. Arms and ribs may be incorporated into this movement by stretching arms up and initiating the upward hip movement. This is also referred to as upward “Maya”.
