Side lying leg circle

Lie on your right side, top leg bent in front with a pillow under knee, bottom leg straight.

Body is straight from your head to your toe, hips and ribcage stacked.

It is important to maintain neutral pelvis, and extend the top hip away from your head.

Shoulders remain soft as you lift your bottom leg from the mat.

Make sure your knee is forward, lift your leg a bit more and from the hip make 10 tiny little leg circles 1 direction. Do 10 circles and switch directions.

Notice if they feel like circles.

Notice if one direction is easier than the other.

Repeat left side.

Remember to keep neck and shoulders soft as you continue to breathe ☺
