HOWEVER, you can LIGHTLY touch your heel to the ground. It can lightly brush the ground but no WEIGHT can be placed on it. But the video is hard to get that across + I was videotaping and trying to balance myself at the same time. Perhaps I will do another video that better illustrates this. Good catch. :) Rebecca,

The trick is that the pull of the foot must be very quick so that you can avoid rolling up and off the toes. Timing is probably the most challenging part of Pose. That said, if timing is good, the hamstrings do not have to do nearly as much pulling as you might imagine. By being quick, the "pull" is almost an elastic reaction to the ground. Does that make sense? There may be some value in posting another video of what I mean by this "elasticity". Jeanne, the work comes from the hamstrings which are supposed to lift the foot up.

Very helpful! I will try it tomorrow. It seems like you have to use more of the leg muscle. yes? Now if you could just do that with both feet at once, you'd be hovering! that would be much easier. :) oh, now I see what you tried to explain in words. Very helpful! I will try it tomorrow.

I didn't think I got it, but a couple of laps around the apartment later I realized its pretty simple! p.s.- my cat thinks I'm weirder than ever now. Very interesting!
