External harmonies

Learn how to move in a more internal way:

1. Hands & feet
   - hands and feet must coordinate
   - if the right hand is yang, the left foot is yang
   - the further past the feet you extend your hands, the less centred you are
    
2. Elbows & knees
   - elbows and knees must both be naturally relaxed and in line
   - elbows and knees do not initiate any movement
   - knees are soft and loose, not locked or collapsed (this will allow the pelvis to drop naturally)
   - elbows are dropped and heavy and extended forward slightly
    
3. Hips & shoulders
   - shoulders must be above the hips
   - do not lean upper torso forwards or backwards
   - vertical distance between shoulder and hip should not increase or decrease on either side
