This exercise will target the core of the students and allow them to focus on breath. The students will also be working on hip mobility which will help with turnout, the resistance band adds an extra challenge by working the upper body.

Starting Position: The student will begin lying down with their feet flat on the floor in a parallel position. They will be holding on to the resistance band which will be placed over the pelvis area.

Steps:

1. The students will start by reach their arms back behind them and float both feet up in to a table top position.
2. The student will open the right knee, then stretch the leg long, they will turn the leg parallel, then bring it back to table top.

4. The student will then reverse that section of the exercise.
5. Have the student bring their band towards their pelvis curling the chest forward and stretching the legs long.
6. The students will then comeback to the starting position.
