We recommend trying the Foundation Exercises first . These exercises introduce principles that are used in the set and allow you to work on them without having to think about stepping at the same time. There is no assessment for these exercises, just familiarize yourself with the principles. It is a good idea to do these exercises at the beginning of each session.
Read through the Vocabulary section so that the terms are familiar when you see them in the Step By Step instructions.
Start with Move 1 and work sequentially through to the end.
Look at and read and/or listen to the Start Posture, Step By Step instructions, Common Mistakes and End Posture.
You are now ready to try the move. Play the Practice With Me video - it will repeat 5 times, giving you a chance to try the move many times to feel that you have mastered it If you are past the first move, it is also helpful to try the Practice From the Beginning video which allows you to pull it all together.
Before taking the Self Assessment, review the Common Mistakes section.
