Feet direction

When I stand the natural tendency of my feet and knee's is to face extremely outward, with collapsed arches. So for the first 2 step's of lesson 6, Step 3 specifically, I reverse the action outward instead of inward. This feel' s kind of right and my legs and feet line up, but I am wondering if this is the right action? or do you have a diffrent (correct?) way of solving this problem? Thank you for your time.

You want two end results from this step - that your feet face outward 10-15 degrees and that the feet be bean-shaped. The action you describe won't give you the bean shape. Try starting with your feet facing forward more and then do step 3 the way it is in the book.

From Esther's reply above, the finish position of the feet is 10-15deg whereas in the book it states this is the start position. Also, the pictures in steps 8 and 9 show the feet almost parallel.

Please can you confirm the correct start and finish angle of the foot and confirm whether the angle is between both feet or between the centreline and each foot.
