DRILLS
Off A Mat: Bridge up with feet on mat/panel. Try a kickover on a raised surface, slowly lower height as you progress.
Bridge Rocks: Bridge up with feet on mat/panel. Push through your feet to open up shoulders. Rock several times-paying attention to open shoulders with straight arms. This movement is the same movement you will do when kicking over.
