Mindful Movement. Standing on one leg

Watch this video and notice the difference between standing well-supported, on the top of the hip joint, and translating the pelvis excessively to one side.

Sometimes we call this movement strategy "jotting out the hip," "sashaying," or "hanging or sitting on the hip."

Practice strengthening the hip muscles by standing and walking on the top of your hip and sense the difference yourself!
