Standing Pelvic Lift
Standing on one leg at the edge of a step, let the free hip drop, then lift it back to level with the standing hip.
How to do it
Setup
One foot on a low step, the other hanging beside it, knees straight, hands relaxed.
Steps
- Let the free side of the pelvis drop slowly.
- Lift it back up past level with the standing hip.
- Keep both knees straight; finish the side.
Common mistakes
Bending the standing knee to drop lower: both legs stay straight. Leaning the torso sideways: the pelvis moves, the shoulders stay level. Rushing the drop: slow down and up.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
