## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on exploring intra-body movement through torsion, aiming to rotate the chest and hips separately and together while maintaining core engagement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Soften the knees to facilitate movement.
- Rotate the chest without moving the hips to feel core tension.
- Keep the belly button engaged and in, not pushed out.
- Relax the arms to allow natural shoulder and arm swing.
- Slow down movements to increase tension in the abs.
- Speed up movements to release tension and feel lighter motion.

##REMEMBER
- Tension in the core sustains movement without preventing it.
- Opposite sides (shoulder and hip) should rotate together for coordinated torsion.
- Foot position affects hip range of motion and torsion intensity.
- Maintain grounding with the floor to feel stable during steps.
- Counter-rotation involves upper body and hips working in opposition.
- Tension shifts location in the belly based on movement speed and direction.
