Walking O

By creating a tension in the hand out toward your side, let the hand lead the legs in a half circle forwards and then, with the other hand, in a half-circle backwards. With a little practice you could also vary the movement by leading with your hand raised at different heights along the side of your body.  If these variations are too difficult then carry on doing it from below.

What helps you to perform the O in space?
  • Do you manage to remain particularly active in the hand and arm, and to allow the legs to follow? Can you simultaneously be conscious in the legs and in the arms?
  • Could you try to particularly engage and allow your lower system to work in leading the O? How does that feel? Strange? Or comfortable and strengthening?
  • Does leading the O pull you out of yourself or are you even more strongly anchored in yourself? What helps you not to lose yourself?
  • What helps you to retain the size in the returning half-circle, so that you quite naturally return to your starting point?
  • What is the difference when you let your arms relax between the two half circles or not? Are both ways equally successful?
