The Sit Bones?

[Deanna]

I've learned a great pilates trick that will help you determine where your own sits bones are situated (width-wise):

1. Stand (or lay on your back with knees bend) with your feet together.
2. Keeping your heels together, point your toes outward.
3. Move your heels so they line up with your toes.
4. Your heels will now be lined up with your sits bones.

How far out do you point your toes in step 2? If you have big feet, that could make your sit bones two feet apart!

I think your feet can only go so far out. The key is to keep your heels together when you do step 2, as this will limit the angle your feet will point. I guess it would be more accurate to say you are lining up with the balls of your feet, not the tips of your toes. It's an approximation, but I think you'll only run into problems if you're a contotionist
