Master the Secure Figure-Eight Footlock

The figure-eight footlock is a foundational skill that provides secure support for different poses and transitions. Start by climbing the silks and reaching a comfortable height. Wrap one silk strand around the top of a foot, just above the ankle bone. Cross the fabric over the instep and under the sole of the same foot, creating an “X.”

Now, grab the fabric tail with the same hand that’s holding the strand around the foot. Thread the tail under the “X” and bring it up and over the top of the foot. Tighten the fabric firmly, ensuring a snug and secure fit.
