Practice with caution to avoid injury
When practicing the inward-outward stance, the body weight is distributed evenly at 50% each leg.
This practice also teaches the practicioner the importance of a strong stable base. Also, it teaches how to maintain functionality in awkward positions. Lowering the center of gravity and sinking the chi are additional benefits.
*Strive to hold the posture for 1 minute, as a beginner level student, gradually increasing time to 30 minutes for advanced practicioners. Once the core understanding of the technique is achieved, it evolves with the practitioner's understanding to include a variety of application.
