[00:00] Okay, so just quickly, do you want to go behind me so you can see both like the mirror?
[00:06] So body movement for the lead in the actual combo we did, and then we can do like the exercises and the drills, okay?
[00:13] So we're doing a basic, one, two, three, four, five, six, I breathe, and then one, two, I drop, three, four, I reverse, and then I stop here, and then I'm going up,
[00:29] and over, rotating my chest for my first body roll, second body roll, I'm tucking the hip, oh, actually we didn't do like the, so if we do,
[00:41] and then up, and then rotate, which gets us on the right foot, and then a basic, and then the different movements that we broke down was the lateral wave,
[00:58] if we're doing the V version of the lateral wave, the first time we insert energy is when we change weight and go up, so,
[01:06] and if I let that go, I melt down, so no energy here, and then what my follower wants to do after I initiate the hip swing,
[01:15] my follower feels me pushing the ground here, and my follower wants to do this, but I'm going to stop that from happening by engaging my core, isolating the hips,
[01:28] I can do this however many times I want until I say, okay, down and up without a block, and then we want to resolve the movement up,
[01:37] and then as my hip goes, and I progressively transfer my weight, the actual energy rolls up my body,
[01:46] this moment is super important, because that's actually the head roll unlock motion, and remember, we're pushing up,
[01:54] which helps us stop into our basic, without stopping, it would be, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one, two, three, four,
[02:08] we also talked about leading the body roll, in kind of this face-to-face position, we want to leave space, and make sure that my back foot,
[02:16] and my follower's back foot is turned out, so there's a solid foundation, and then, if you think about deconstructing the body roll,
[02:22] from the follower's perspective, there's a weight change, 100% weight change, and then there's a level change, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down,
[02:38] and then if I go up, and I tilt my torso over, while keeping all my weight on the front foot, and then I release the movement,
[02:47] I want my follower's chest to be facing up, and then the actual movement is as if they're pushing the ceiling,
[02:55] to send the energy down, and if they do not get any more information, my follower, roller coasters down, pendulum, neutral, so,
[03:05] but if I want my follower to do continuous body rolls, energy, relax, energy, relax, up, down, up, relax, up, and I'm done,
[03:22] and so from the least perspective, both the lateral wave movements, and the body movements, in the face-to-face position,
[03:33] you can do an exercise where the follower's hand is on your torso, and I'm mirroring this movement, do that one for now,
[03:40] like, eventually, you can do, like, the zoom version, where it's, like, where you're kind of doing this,
[03:44] but you have, like, it's more complicated, because you have to be off-center a little bit, otherwise, you're slamming into each other,
[03:49] but, leads position, remember, what I'm asking my follower to do is a weight change, right,
[03:55] and then I'm asking them to do a level change, and the forward is not because I'm leaning, right,
[04:02] it's because I'm using my feet, my legs, to drive the move, and then if I want my follower's torso to go up and over,
[04:09] to do the first part of the infinity, I relax, and then I go up and over,
[04:14] and then I release, and then I go up and over, and I release, and then I go up and over, and I release.
[04:22] Careful not to let the shoulders drive and move, that's why we want to do the torso exercise,
[04:26] and then if I want to turn this into a reverse body roll, I basically say,
[04:33] just kidding, you don't get to resolve the move, we're going to have you come up,
[04:37] and then resolve it this way, and if I do that while closing the distance,
[04:43] then my follower has no choice but to collapse their chest on the axis of their back foot,
[04:48] so I'm really thinking to go to the forward axis and then stay there to basically pull my follower's
[04:55] hip back, so if I'm a follower, whoa, and so that collapses their chest, and then, now we're in a
[05:06] counter position, I just want to push the ground up, so if I had a follower with me,
[05:12] I'll do it like this because it's easier to see, torso to torso, and then having our frame,
[05:18] so if I'm just leaving body rolls up and over, up and over, up and over, and then when I'm ready,
[05:26] I turn it up, up, up, up, up, up into a calm rain, and so the combination that we did essentially did
[05:35] that movement on the other side, if I had a follower for the lateral wave, the two places
[05:41] where I'm adding energy is this part, and then relax, if I let my follower go at this point,
[05:47] they want to do this, but if I want to do the pendulum, I'm turning my feet out,
[05:51] boom, I'm basically isolating, there's a string pulling my upper body, holding it in place,
[05:58] I'm doing lower body isolations, my follower feels like a little bit of a bounce, I'm turning
[06:02] on my feet, rotating my knees if I have range of motion issues, and then whenever I'm ready,
[06:07] I gather, and then now I don't block my own body, I scoop and I start going up, and then
[06:13] I let my follower go, so the exercises, if we're doing it in this position, boom, and
[06:21] let go of the follow, same thing with the body roll, uh, yep, we're facing each other, like this,
[06:29] yeah, uh, like, uh, that foot, yep, yep, yep, so if I'm doing the body rolls, boom, boom,
[06:37] ah, okay, yeah, that one, maybe the energy was in the chest, think about up and over,
[06:45] up and over, up and over, up and over, up and over, so that's the key, right, like, I actually
[06:54] disengaged too early there, so my follower kind of got confused, because I didn't quite
[06:58] do this, but then I also didn't quite do up and over, so there was my, my bad, I would
[07:06] say, I could have been more clear, so you want to go up and over for the body roll, and
[07:12] then your follower completes the move, yeah, cool, amazing.
