Turtles can be performed as a circular form of Float, which involves moving one hand forward and alternately moving the other backwards. But, before you can successfully do the Circles, a proper understanding of the Freeze is required.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: As long as it takes to learn
Here's How:
- Start in a kneeling position with both knees on the ground, as if you're ready to crawl.
- Balance both elbows between your stomach and hips section. (It might be better to jab your elbows right above your hip bones.)
- Lean forward, with your hands not more than a foot or so apart. Most of your weight should be on the elbows, instead of the legs.
- Balance on your arms and legs and lift off the ground.
- Your arms should be at a 90 degree angle. Tuck your legs in so that they are close to your butt, but don't overdo this.
- Now try to hold this position. Start by holding it for 10 seconds, then gradually increase your hold time by 10 seconds. Don't forget to breather.
Tips:
- Find your balance and get comfortable.
- Occasionally, you'll collapse on your arms, but try not to tip forward or backwards.
- Curl your toes in for balance.
