Instructions

Proper Position

  • Kneel on a mat in a quadruped position, with your hands aligned under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
  • Slightly engage your core to stabilize your lower back.
  • Keep your back straight and your gaze directed at the floor.

Movement

  • Lift one leg out to the side while keeping the knee bent at 90°.
  • Slowly draw circles with your knee, rotating your hip joint.
  • Perform 5 to 10 circles in one direction, then switch directions.
  • Lower your leg to the floor and repeat the movement with the other leg.

Breathing

  • Inhale as you begin the circle.
  • Exhale as you complete the circle.

Tips

  • Keep your arms firmly pressed into the mat to stabilize your upper body.
  • Perform slow and controlled movements to avoid straining your hip joints.
  • Focus on the range of motion without arching your lower back.
