“It is necessary not to think of the leg, but of the pelvis.
Just pay attention to the opening angle between the arm and the back,
to the standing hand and the back.
Listen to the pelvis so it will move higher on one side and backward.
If it needed to be the right hip... think that someone is lifting the right hip.
It is even possible to put a hand behind, on the hip, and pull it so you can notice. Usually, it is difficult because the effort is passed on to the leg and not made in the back. That is why it becomes difficult.”

With this practice I am learning how the imagination is a very powerful tool.
