Draw the pelvis upward and so far as possible to the left. Then, keeping the pelvic position, step with the right foot, crossing the right leg sideways and in front of the left. Then follow with the left, so that feet and pelvis resume the normal first position. Then begin the exercise again from the right side. (b) (Not illustrated.) Second position, standing with feet slightly apart. Draw up the pelvis so far as possible to the left. When the maximum stretch has been reached, close the feet, moving the right up to the left. The movement restores the normal pelvic position. Then take the second position again and repeat the exercise from the right side. (13) Pushing the Pelvis Slowly from the Right to the Left, and Reverse (not illustrated). Take the first position. Then keep the pelvis level and in a straight line, while pushing it alternately to the left and to the right. But keep the line horizontal. Do not arch or lift the hip. (14) Pelvic Swing: Sideways, or Lateral Pelvic Swing (not illustrated). Second position standing, feet a little apart. Move the left hip sideways so far as possible and lift it until the left leg is stretched tensely from thigh to toe.

Repeat several times. (15) Pelvic Rotation from Front to Back. First position. Then draw the pelvis forward, thrusting thigh and knee slightly bent in advance (cf the final stage
