THE COMPANION BALANCE PROGRESSION : Page 86


HOLD TOP MAN BY ANKLES TO STEADY HIM AND PLACE HIS FEET ON YOUR KNEES WHEN YOU HAVE SQUATTED INTO POSITION (b and c);

NOW, CHANGE YOUR GRIP TO JUST BELOW HIS KNEES (d); PULL TOP MAN BACK TO VERTICAL FOR DISMOUNT.

TOP MAN

KEEP KNEES STRAIGHT AND ARCH BACK;

PUT HEAD FORWARD OR BACKWARD TO MAINTAIN BALANCE.

THIGH STAND

HINTS TO BEGINNERS: The top man's feet should be placed just above the bottom man's knees so that the bony structure of the bottom man's leg, rather than his muscles, bears the burden. Remember to use your head, physically as well as mentally, to keep in balance.

VARIATIONS

1. Move heads in unison, and see how much you can rock.
