Here is a hip circle: your chest stays more or less in one place, while your hips circle around.
To find the 4 anchor points for this circle first slide your hips side to side - feet shoulder width apart, flat on the floor - hips go side to side, parallel to the floor. Don't lift your heels off the floor and keep your chest in the middle. You shift your weight side to side, but your chest stays in the center - the hip travels far beyond the centerline of your body.
On front-back slides - bend your knees and bring your hips forward, keep your back straight. Now hips go back, tilt forward, straight back.
tilt back... tilt forward.
The points for our circle are these: Slide your hips sideways, now hips go forward (bend your knees a little), hips go side, and back (this is a forward tilt).
side, front, side, back
hips slide sideways, my chest is staying in the center, my weight shifts to this side completely. Stretch here - extend your hip, don't lift it. Feet flat on the floor.
my hips go forward, my chest is staying in the center, which results in the backward tilt of my torso
hips go side, again, the chest stays in the center - it will feel like your chest is moving away from your hips, but we just keep it in the center - and, again, side position equals complete weight shift, all my weight is here... see, I can lift this foot off the floor.
and, hips go back - forward tilt to keep your chest in the center
hips side, forward, side, back
When your hips go forward don't let your chest collapse, push it up, even though it's hard.
And when your hips go back and your torso tilts forward, hold in your stomach - no relaxed hanging stomach ever, engage your abs. Whether you have more or less flesh here, doesn't matter - once you engage your muscles here, you know they are working.
