The Brush Knee Step
Try a brushing hand movement with a familiar forward step.
Starting Position
Stand comfortably with a clear path. Learn the footwork first. Arms relaxed.
Step-by-Step Movement Instructions
- 1Shift weight right and place the left heel forward.
- 2As you settle onto the left foot, sweep the left hand past the outside of the left knee. Bring the right palm forward below shoulder height.
- 3Pause with the elbow soft. Keep the knee following the foot rather than twisting it.
- 4Step with the right foot and reverse the hands. Continue slowly.
Practice Duration
Four to six steps, then rest. Repeat only if the coordination feels manageable.
Breathing Cue
Natural breathing. Do not delay a breath to match the hands.
Supported & Seated Variation (Path A)
Keep one hand on a counter and leave out the hand pattern. Seated: practice the arm movement alone.
What to Notice During Practice
Brush with the hand on the same side as the stepping foot.
Shoulder or knee pain, dizziness, or loss of balance.
Sit down safely if you feel light-headed or unsteady. There is never any reason to push through pain or discomfort.
