Slowly withdraw your body until your weight is fully resting on your left leg, but keep the left knee slightly bent. With the withdrawal of your weight bring your right foot back by allowing it to slide along the floor until it is a short distance ahead of your left foot. Once your right foot stops moving, raise the toes of your right foot, but keep the heel in contact with the floor. As you commence your weight transfer, bend both elbows and slowly draw your hands back, still on a line with the shoulders, letting them stop a short distance away from your body with both palms facing outward. | Slowly withdraw your body until your weight is fully resting on your left leg, but keep the left knee slightly bent.

The Fair Lady Weaving
Sequence 2: Play the Guitar
7. Monkey Stance (Hou Shih) Transfer your body weight slowly onto your left leg and at the same time draw your right foot back and slightly bend your left knee. Having withdrawn your foot about twelve inches, raise your right toes off the floor. Whilst moving into this stance, rotate both wrists so that your hands make a half circle, outward and upward, about the size of a football. Then draw both arms back towards your sides, making sure that both palms face each other and that your arms are parallel. Now bend your body slightly forward, keeping your back straight, so that you can look down between the palms of the hands. | |
8. Dragon Stance (Lung Shih) Move your right foot forward and transfer the weight of the body on to it, making sure that your right knee is bent and that your left leg straightens. As you effect the leg movements, rotate your wrists so that at first your hands droop, then circle inwards towards your body, then move upwards so that the palms of your hands arrive directly in front of the shoulders. Now slowly straighten both arms by pushing forward with the back of your hands. | |
