## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on the 'Grind' movement, teaching how to move the hips and opposite shoulder away from the body's axis to build tension and core support.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Move the hip out in one direction while the opposite shoulder goes in the opposite direction.
- Travel away from the axis of the shoulder and hips to create torsion.
- Use the full chest into the shoulder, not just the point of the shoulder.
- Roll into the feet from the toes to the heels to maintain ground connection.
- Play with using arms a little while moving to enhance the shape.
- Move super slowly to feel the tension building up in the core.

##REMEMBER
- The core supports the movement by building tension through opposite-direction stretches.
- Maintain a connection with the ground as you move through the shape.
- Remember to breathe throughout the movement to aid control and flow.
- Focus on the torsion and tension created between the hips and chest/shoulder.
- Ensure the movement involves the entire chest, not just isolated shoulder points.
- Practice slowly to develop awareness and control of the body's alignment.
