Lie on your side, with your head resting on your underneath arm which is straight in line with your torso. Find a neutral pelvis and engage your lower abdominals. Your knees are bent to 90 degrees and hips slightly bent. Place your top hand on the floor just in front of your body, stacking the shoulders and hips. Lengthen your top leg and waist to create a small space between your underneath hip and the floor. Inhale to prepare, and exhale as you lift your top leg in line with your top hip, then float your leg forwards from your hip keeping it at hip height with your leg straight. Inhale to bring your leg back in line with your body, remaining at hip height. Repeat the movement with your leg up at hip height. Avoid using your back to generate the movement, and make sure you keep a neutral pelvis.
