How to do it

Sit with both knees bent at 90 degrees, one leg in front and one out to the side, torso tall. Lift the knees and rotate them across to switch to the mirror position, then switch back. Control the switch instead of flopping over, and keep the spine tall — the movement should come from the hips.

Form cues

  • Stay tall through the spine
  • Control the switch, do not flop
