## FOCUS 
- This lesson focuses on intrabody movement, starting from the feet and chaining energy up through the body to build tension gradually. The goal is to feel and control this tension as it travels from the ground to the upper body.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start by softening the knees and pushing feet on the floor to feel tension in the glutes and thighs.
- Bring the hips forward to relax the glutes while keeping thigh tension as the movement rises.
- Engage the abs and back muscles as the movement travels from the hips into the chest.
- When stepping, push with the standing leg first and let the other leg follow to build tension.
- Decide to send the movement to one shoulder first, then the other, before relaxing down.
- Imagine one foot pushing first and the other following to sequence the tension buildup.

##REMEMBER
- The movement builds tension gradually through the body as it travels from the ground up.
- Feel and control tensions in every part of the body, from feet to shoulders, during the exercise.
- Relax the knees of the new standing leg when shifting weight during shoulder movements.
- Allow the arms to relax and create torsions as the movement rises from bottom up.
- Take the movement slowly to fully sense the tensions and energy flow.
- Use breathing to release tension, especially when the movement reaches the chest.
