Course outline
About this course.
Prepare to get your legs strong, beautiful and high to the front!
This a very hard position to achieve in strength and flexibility. We will get it looking beautiful.
Isabella will take you through all the key exercises, stretches, and imagery you need to progress your height of leg to the front and develop a new level of understanding you didn’t have before.
It’s not just about the working leg. Of course we need strength here but we also need strength and connection with the supporting leg. Having proper turnout connection here will allow the leg to progress higher to the front almost instantly.
Let’s dive in and improve.
