Mat Leg Circles is a very important part of the Pilates repertoire. This exercise teaches so many beautiful skills for the clients to master such as lumbo/pelvic stability as well as differentiation of movement between the leg and the pelvis. The goal of the exercise is not that you complete the circles in their prescribed number of rotations but to see how clearly your clients can perform the exercise. What this means is that it is your job to cue them into the easiest circle they can find. There is zero compensation elsewhere in the body, and the breath is the moving force, not a secondary awareness.
