| I have been using this one for new students for over a year, and it's proven very successful. |
1. Start with narrow stance (fist apart at the instep, 15' toe-out)
2. Sit vertically.
3. Shift weight 100% to one hip (A).
4. Rotate out the other qua (B) to 45'
5. Slide (B) leg out to full extension w/o stepping, release from qua down until toes are on floor, no bobbing.
6. Slide (B) knee out, start a weight shift onto (B), with full open of the (B) qua, (B) shoulder towards (B) knee, until in full open, leaning (nutated) and (A) heel is just about to lift off ground.
7. Sit up straight (counter nutate), and rotate to close (B) qua, all weight still on (B) hip, belly button -45'.
8. (== mod. 2) Open both loaded (B) and empty (A) qua, so that (B) toes are -45' belly button is front, and (A) toes are +45'
9. (== mi 5) Slide (A) leg out to full extension w/o stepping, release from qua down until toes are on floor, no bobbing.
10. == mi 6
11. == mi 7
repeat as needed, it's amazing what it does for leg, qua & yao development.
mi == mirror image
Enjoy
Oh .. 101 implies that there are further 'levels' and there are.
