The lesson begins in standing, focusing on the contact of the toes and heels while folding forward and crouching. Practice continues on the floor through hands-and-knees and lying positions, where participants differentiate fine movements of the toes and heels. The exploration concludes with standing and walking to integrate this newly refined foot awareness.
