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.

yes, that is correct. typically that is also the downbeat side as well. Push toward the down, dropping hip

Thanks for sharing your process Solveig, Shimmies are very challenging indeed, especially these circle ones. Keep up the great work.

Hi Gloria,The replay without the glitches will be up by tomorrow. I'm sorry for that.Regarding your question, sometimes adding a slight knee bend each time you drop the hip bones down and straightening the legs when you bring the pelvis back up and toward neutral.  As you go faster, you will feel a bit of a bounce in the knees. I'll be sure to address your question in the next live.
