Knee Hug to Lunge with Twist

Technique

How to perform Knee Hug to Lunge with Twist

1. Stand tall and lift one knee toward your chest, using your hands to guide a gentle knee hug.
2. Release the leg and step it forward into a lunge, lowering the rear knee as far as you can control.
3. Keep your torso tall as you turn your chest toward the front leg and reach the same-side arm back with the turn.
4. Return the chest to face forward before pushing through the front foot.
5. Step back to your starting stance and regain balance.
6. Repeat with the other leg, moving smoothly rather than forcing the hug or twist.
