Squat & Lunge

Deep plié squats and lunges meet fast hand gestures in this core-strength exercise, rooted in South Indian classical dance. Hold the position with your core while the hands move through gestures in quick succession.

In the squat and jump, push down through the toes and let the feet arch. In the lunge, straighten the back knee and keep arms level with your shoulders.

The hand shapes come fast. Each one needs full energy and a precise finger position.
