One thing that comes up often, in any physical activity, is that part of mastering the activity is about knowing what muscles not to use. So, for example, when you lift someone up, the back curls and the shoulders rise for both people. All the muscles of the necks and the arm stiffen. We still want the neck to be long and the shoulders to be relaxed. The arms hold tight but that's as much from alignment as from stiffness. You can keep the length in your back even as your shoulder blades are working.

It's not about getting the follower in the air. It's about both people being beautiful (and feeling beautiful).
