Tips

- Move through a full range of motion, making the largest comfortable circle you can. - Engage your core to stabilize your hips as you move your leg. - Move slowly and with control to maximize the stretch on the muscles around the hip. - Breathe steadily, exhaling as you move through the more difficult parts of the circle.
