Monkey Stance
MONKEY STANCE
Left and Right Monkey
When one leg is in front of the other
Transfer the body weight on to one foot by bending the knee and straightening the other leg, keeping the sole of the foot flat on the ground let the foot slide back with the pull of the body so the body weight is fully transferred on to the other foot taking all the weight then raise the toes, keeping the back straight, shoulders relaxed, eyes looking forwards in the near distance.
NOTES
Always keep a small gap in-between your feet leaving enough room for your hips to face straight forward keeping you evenly balanced and your feet grounded keeping the body upright and centred. Do NOT raise the toes untill the foot has stopped moving.
Monkeys are clever, social animals who are famous for climbing trees easily.
