Single Leg Stand Pilates Exercise FAQs
What are the teaching directions for the Single Leg Stand?
Gaze at a spot on the wall in front of you. Stand on one leg while tightening your buttocks and thighs.
What are the benefits of the exercise?
Trains balance. Strengthens buttocks. Pelvic stability.
What are the benefits of balance poses?
Balance exercises cultivate mindfulness, focus, composure and a good sense of humour – especially when you get the wobbles. Balancing exercises help to improve steadiness in the ankle joints, strengthen your core, strengthen your legs and enhance one-pointed focus.
Balance exercises give direct feedback to you if you’re not being fully present (anyone who plays sports would therefore benefit enormously from balance exercises). If you’re not 100% focused, you’ll get “the wobbles”, or fall out of the exercise. If you ever feel unfocused in your life, get on your mat and practise balance exercises.
What are some modifications for the exercise?
A) Sit on the front edge of a chair.
B) Folded blanket under heels.
C) Lift all ten toes up.
D) Bring arms to the tops of legs and reach outward.
E) Sit back against a wall like you are in a chair.
F) Add a twist.
G) Sit on a block.
H) Roll a blanket and place it in the crease of both knees.
