One Leg Circle - Big Circles
Progressive Layers Inspiration
These are examples and designed to spark your own creativity. I have only done one or two repetitions of each layer. When teaching you should do as many repetitions as appropriate for your group and stop at the level when everyone has been sufficiently challenged. Encourage people to stay at a level that suits them on that day.
Make it easier
Make it more challenging
Special Considerations
Prenatal considerations
Not appropriate for clients over 20 weeks gestation due to the prolonged supine position.
Over 20 weeks they would need to be propped up so their back is at around a 45° angle.
Osteoporosis considerations
Not appropriate for osteoporotic clients due to the loaded spine rotation.
Modify the movement to keep the body on the mat and circle the leg in the hip socket without lifting the butt off the floor (see One Leg Circle - Small Circles)
