Hi Anna, they are all up as replay now. Let me know if you can get them

Hi Anna,If clenching the glutes helps you stabilize and keep the movement in the upper body I think that is ok. For me, as I push the shoulder forward, the ribcage will rotate a bit with it so in that way your ribcage or chest as you say is also shimmying. I am not actually fully isolating the shoulder movement. I hope that helps. Keep up the great practice.

Woohoo!  I love that so much

Hi Anna,You may not have been doing anything wrong. It could be that you gave your hammies a good workout. But you can try keeping your feet further from your buttox. That might put a bit less strain on the hamstring. Maybe do less reps until you build it more strength. Sometimes I find if that doesn't resolve, electrolytes or magnesium can help.

Hi Puja, Thank you for your question.  You will ned a small bend in the knees to get the full range of motion of the pelvis. You can experiment a bit with the depth of the bend that feels best to you. In general I tell people to bend the knees enough to release the hips but not lose any height.
