This is the third variation in the Four Step sequence. Here, the third step of the original washing machine — the sacrum / Back Bird — is skipped. The base has to take quite a big step to reach the flyer’s shoulders, but it’s absolutely possible. Challenge yourself with this variation — it’s definitely worth a try!
