Thank you for watching Nathalie. I know what you mean... the power is in the deep core. A little push is ok but being able to lift the legs without pushing is safer as you have full control of the lift. Next time you practice and just when you feel like you have to push to lift you legs, keep one foot down and lift the other one. Bring your floating knee to your chest and hold that for a minute or longer, keep the same heel close to your buttocks and keep shifting the weight to your arms and crown of the head (more weight on arms than head). Then rest in child's pose or if you have the energy switch legs and practice the other side. Also the leg that is on the floor try to keep it closer to your body as much as possible because that will help you shift the weight to your arms and will help you in the strengthening of the upper body as well which also helps in the controlled lifting of the legs. Also, practice any of our core strengthening practices or Pilates. 🙏
