Movement · The Original 10
Single Leg Circles
The short answer
Stabilizes the pelvis and mobilizes the hips. One leg extended to the ceiling, draw controlled circles in the air while the hips stay perfectly still.
How to do it
One leg extended to the ceiling, draw controlled circles in the air while the hips stay perfectly still.
Breath: inhale to cross the leg over and down; exhale to sweep it out and back to center — one breath per circle.
Be mindful
- Spine and pelvis stay neutral throughout.
- Keep the circles small to hold the abdominal connection and the stability of the shoulders and pelvis.
Modification
Bend the non-working leg if you can’t keep the pelvis and spine aligned.

The practice beneath it all
When the mind needs somewhere to land
Everything in this wing points, in the end, to the same place — the breath, and the nervous system beneath it. It is why I built SOVA: a quiet companion for the moments in between.
