Nope, I mean actually pulsing the hips slightly up and down while in plank. A little naughty-looking
but very effective -- if the strength is there to keep the shoulders stable.

One way to help people develop the strength for this is to work it in stages, I show beginner, intermediate and (described above) advanced versions.

Good thinkin, that makes sense. I teach a lot of gentle yoga classes, for elderly/chronic pain students, and some of them can't do regular plank with both knees on the floor (some can't bear weight on their wrists due to arthritis either) but your modifications sound perfect for regular populations. Wish you lived closer, i'd totally want to be in your fitness classes!
