Bear Hover Rotations

Explore hip rotation and multidirectional movement from a quadruped bear-hover position. With the knees hovering lightly above the floor, rotate through the hips and pelvis while maintaining an active connection through the hands, shoulders and trunk. Use the movement to integrate hip rotation with whole-body strength, coordination and control. Because this exercise places weight through the hands in a tabletop-style position, take a few moments to warm up the wrists before beginning, particularly if you're not accustomed to weight-bearing through the hands.
