Front End Adduction & Abduction

Here I demonstrate moving the front end. Adduction and abduction is a lateral movement activating the adductor muscles, brings awareness to the shoulders and encourages lightness of the front end.

Mastery of fundamental skills transforms into beautiful, effortless movements.
