Pilates Circle Seated Above the Knee

Build strength through the inner thighs while improving pelvic stability, core engagement, and postural alignment with the Pilates Circle Seated Above the Knee exercise. Although the hip adductors are the primary focus, this movement encourages the head, spine, pelvis, and feet to remain aligned as the legs create controlled pressure into the circle. As you follow the guided instruction, focus on sitting tall, maintaining a strong center, and allowing the movement to stay smooth and controlled. Begin with a small number of repetitions and build gradually as your strength and confidence improve. This exercise also serves as the foundation for additional Pilates Circle variations performed below the knee and above the ankle.
