2m 34s
Bramari literally means to turn. The fourth Bramari adavu that we practise in the Raadha Kalpa method introduces full turns while using the same technique as the third Bramari adavu.
The arm movement is varied in this turn just so students can practise a different combination of upper an lower body movements. Please remember that the arm movement and the feet articulation can be used in varied combinations.
Things to keep in mind:
- The lengthening of the bent knee and the turn happen simultaneously.
- stretch arms completely each time
- Coordinate the turn and use the momentum from the core
- try to finish a moment before the beat and find stillness between turns
