Tabletop Balance
- Raise the leg backwards passing through a toe point then up behind you
- Take your body forward as your lift your leg behind and bend the supporting knee deeply
- Ensure the raised leg is straight
- Ensure both legs are turned out
- Hips need to be kept level and not rotated to assist the lifting of the leg
- Be careful not to let the body drop to the floor – keep the chest up and shoulders back
- Ensure belly button is pulled back toward the spine, bottom is tucked in and shoulders are pulled back
- Ensure the lifting and lowering of the leg is completed with control
- Head needs to be kept in line with body not lifted or dropped to the floor.
- It is important that there is no arch in the back for a tabletop balance. You are aiming for a straight flat line.
