Lean on the Knee and Get Up

The lesson begins with sitting and pivoting the knees from side to side. Participants then explore using a hand to support a spiraling movement of the pelvis to lift off the floor. This develops into a smooth trajectory for transition from sitting to a half-kneeling position and eventually coming all the way to standing using rotational momentum.
