Here they are:

Number 1: Knee to Releve Holds

You can do this on a beam or on the floor. Start on one knee with your dominant foot in front of you. Push to stand (you should be on your dominant leg) and hold a relevé on one foot with the other foot at your knee or ankle. Try to hold this position with your shoulders down and your arms in a crown position. Remember to keep your ankle straight and not sickled as you hold your passe. Repeat.

Number 4: Lunge T Lunge

Start in a lunge. Lift your back leg, while bringing your arms and upper body forward to horizontal to make the shape of a “T”. Try holding it for 2 seconds (beginner), 5 seconds (intermediate) or 7 seconds (advanced) while squeezing your leg muscles, trying not to wobble & keeping your back foot pointed, and then return to a lunge. Do it 5 times in a row.
