I have been known to hide behind my veil a time or two ;)

A maya is a vertical figure eight with the hips.... if you stand and bring one hip up + out, then let it drop + bring the other hip and out (and repeat a few times), you might get a feel for it. I did a WHOLE BUNCH at the beginning, but you can't see them very well because of the veil. I think I did a bunch at the end, too (Maya. Camel. Maya. Camel. TWIRL SILK. Maya. Camel. Maya.
