Learning at a workshop




Suggestions for improvement


Thanks for this workshop Master Hwa! 


I noticed a few things! A number of  students here turn from the shoulders, not the waist. They also do not droop the buttocks (Tuck)! Too much shoulder involvement of students coincides with excessive hip involvement 1. Tucking the pelvis better while standing prevents hip involvement 2. Or try sitting in a straight-backed chair; it holds hips still 3. Folding arms while sitting or standing contributes to "dropping shoulders" and facilitates not raising or turning from shoulders, improving just turning from the waist.
