Lesson 05

Pelvic Control

The pelvis is the base of everything.

The pelvis sits between the spine and the legs. If it tips or shifts unintentionally, the load travels somewhere it shouldn't — usually the lower back.

Pelvic control means the pelvis stays where you put it while the legs move. That is the entire point of exercises like knee folds and toe taps.

You will feel this as stillness rather than effort. Nothing should rock side to side.

Key takeaway

Legs move. Pelvis stays. That is the standard.

Mini practice

Float one knee to tabletop and back, five times per side, keeping the hips level.
