You said hips forward, then you said turn, so I left my hips in place and turned. I enjoy very much and spend lots of time teaching others to wind the waist. It’s a great leveler for me.

If I don’t practice, I end up twisted into a left shoulder higher too. My right side works so hard.

I guess I’m just out of the way, and I’m not tested by distractions.

About feeling some strange misalignment like one shoulder is higher or something, our bodies are twisted because our minds are twisted… or maybe it’s the other way around. I don’t know, but standing helps to straighten out both.
