About Side to Side Sway

Side to Side Sway practices left-to-right weight transfer with both feet on the floor. The app uses a wide horse stance with the arms crossed. It is a useful pattern to study before adding steps to a standing sequence.

What to focus on

Feel the pressure under each foot change as the body moves sideways.
Return through the center slowly rather than bouncing from one leg to the other.

Make the movement smaller

Use a shallower knee bend and a smaller transfer, with a fixed support nearby if needed.

A mistake to watch for

Tipping the shoulders sideways without transferring weight. Keep the torso upright and shorten the sway.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Side to Side Sway. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
