Single Leg Circle (Modified)
Starting position

On your back, left knee bent and foot flat to steady the low back. Extend the right leg up toward the ceiling.

How to do it

Circle the right leg across the body, down, out to the side and back up. 5 circles each direction, then switch.

Keep in mind

Your pelvis is set in cement — only the leg moves. · Draw a precise circle on the ceiling.

Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
