Side Bae Combo
Begin in your side bae position with your head resting either in the palm of your hand or on your upper arm. Align your legs at a right angle so that your knees are right in front of your hips and your shins are parallel to the front edge of your mat. Place your free hand right in front of your waist, spread your fingers wide, and press down firmly through your fingers to keep your weight forward, hips stacked, and pressure out of your wrist. First, lift your top leg to the height of your hip while keeping your leg at a ninety-degree angle. Next, without moving your thigh, extend your lower leg to straight with your leg extended directly in front of your hip. Then, bend from your knee while keeping your top leg hovering over your bottom leg at the height of your hip. Finally, gently lower your top leg to return to your starting position. Peep how there are four parts of this combo. Also, peep how the first and third parts of this combo are exactly the same. Your goal is to keep your knees stacked right on top of one another while you're lifting and extending. This will engage your glutes, thighs, and core. Repeat this combo for one (1) minute or longer and make sure to hit it up on your second side too. Balance, baby! For more of a challenge, you could: 1. slow the move down to half the speed you feel comfortable at, focus on extending your leg as straight as possible and add tiny lifts of your straight leg to finish.
