Turtle
[1] Start in a kneeling position with both of your knees on the ground, and your thighs apart. Your legs should be spread a little and bent up a the knee to help maintain balance.
[2] Lift your body with your hands. Keep your elbows bent at a 90 degree angle and under your body. Your hands go straight from your chest to the ground.
[3] Keep your elbows on your hips not in your stomach or at your side. Keep your hands far apart.
[4] You move by "walking" on your hands in pattern like a figure-eight on the floor as you spin.
[5] The spin is continued by shifting your weight from one hand to the next as you rotate and move your hands under your body.
You can practive just balancing on your hands in the Turtle position before you attempt the spin. This will help with balance and build up your strength.
