How to perform Standing Pelvic Tilt

  1. Stand with your feet about hip-width apart and your knees softly bent.
  2. Keep your upper torso upright and gently explore a small forward-and-back tilt of your pelvis.
  3. Tuck your tailbone forward under you, drawing the front of your pelvis upward so the curve in your lower back decreases.
  4. Keep your feet planted and avoid turning the tilt into a squat or a large backward lean.
  5. Hold the tucked position briefly while continuing to breathe.
  6. Release toward your starting position under control.
