Follow the steps

  1. Start with a high horse stance

    Keep the bend in both knees small. Look ahead and feel equal pressure under both feet.

  2. Shift to one side

    Move your hips a little to the left while both feet stay down. Pause where you can still return to center easily.

  3. Pass through center

    Come back to even pressure before shifting to the right. Keep the motion slow enough to pause at any point.

Practice on a clear, non-slip surface. Start with shallow stances, move slowly, and stop if you feel pain.
