Smoothing the flow

A new sequence today:

Rotation Into Low Bridge - QDR 2 QDR Role




From a squat, start a Rotation Into Low Bridge, continuing with the second hand to the QDR position. Lean sideways with your body and shift more weight into the QDR support arm. Slide the first hand across the second hand, while rotating the body along its axis and performing a type of a Role with the legs. As you place the first hand in its new position, continue the Role into a new QDR position on that hand and slide out from it sideways into a squat.

Important notes:
1. The first QDR position needs to be stable and support the majority of your bodyweight in order for the 'slide out' to happen smoothly. You need this stable support in order to move every other body part around it. ('Give me a fulcrum and I shall move the world' as Archimedes said)
2. The head should also slide on the floor along with the body and the first hand - keep it close to the ground, as there is a tendency to lift it above the floor.
3. Make sure you articulate the exit from the second QDR position and out into the squat. First reach the 'one leg bent and the other straight' position and then slide out into the squat. Dont forget, 'the devil is in the details'. (I like better the Hebrew version - 'God is in the small details')
