Monkey is a great movement to counteract the effects of sitting, standing, and moving in a straight line (think running, cycling, walking, and even weight training). This movement demands mobility in the hips, which is the key to unlocking a deep squat position and essential in finding freedom in movement in your daily life and movement practice. Monkey will help you practice moving up and down from the floor with grace and ease. Level 3 gets you comfortable with leveraging your body weight to briefly hold a handstand-like position.
