Hi Lisa!

Curious! Try playing with it - if you always grab your right foot first try grabbing the left, try holding behind the knees/shins/thighs and see if it makes a different, don't grab as hard? Play around and see if anything shifts! It's not wrong at all, it might be just what you do! Happy exploring!

Melissa :)
