How to do it

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, hands together at your chest.
2. Step one leg back and across behind the other - as though curtsying - and lower until your front thigh nears parallel and your back knee hovers behind your opposite heel.
3. Push through your front heel to return to standing and repeat on the other side.
4. Your hips and chest stay facing forward the whole time; only the legs cross, which is exactly what lights up the outside of the front hip.
