One-Leg L Sit

Technique

How to perform One-Leg L Sit

1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you and hands placed beside your hips, fingers pointing forward.
2. Press your palms firmly into the ground, engage your core, and depress your shoulders.
3. Exhale as you straighten your elbows and lift your hips and one heel off the floor simultaneously, keeping your legs locked and toes pointed.
4. Hold the supported “L” position - hips in line with hands and legs at a 90‑degree angle to your torso and one heel on the ground - while maintaining steady breathing and a neutral neck.
5. Lower your hips gently back to the floor under control to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the recommended number of holds or the prescribed time.
