Concept: Performance Planes Hallway - spatially isolate your hallway planes, while testing your range of motion -- range of motion @ hip-level -- over-the-shoulder range of motion in the hallway planes! - use a wall to aid your hallway plane practice - add expanded arm movement - go through hallway plane practice in all timing & direction modes! - spin flowers in your hallway with your body in between! http://alienjon.com
