To walk like a woman means to walk with confidence and balance. You use the strength and center of gravity of your body to lead with the hips and thighs, often balancing in high heels. If you want to channel your feminine side, start by learning correct standing posture and then correct your gait. Soon you will walk like a lady without thinking about it.

To step

Part 1 of 2: Getting the right posture

1. Stand upright with your feet inside shoulder-width apart. This is usually about 6 inches from instep to instep. Don't let your toes point forward or inward, but straight forward.
2. Don't lock your knees. Keep them a little loose, as if you could walk away like that.
3. Pull in your stomach a little. Pull in your lower abs slightly. This will narrow your waist and make it easier to stand up straight.
4. Keep your chin so that it is parallel to the ground. Keep your arms at your sides.
5. Try to bring your shoulder blades closer together on your back. Push your shoulders a little down from your ears.
6. Pretend you're trying to touch the ceiling with the flat top of your head. You should grow about an inch in length by stretching your spine and tightening the muscles in your core.
7. Return to this position when standing. To maintain a balanced figure, try balancing a book on your head while maintaining proper posture.

Part 2 of 2: Walking in a feminine way

1. Do a few stretches for your hips to allow them to move as you walk. Squat for thirty seconds, then do the Butterfly Pose or the Pigeon Pose (Yoga) for one minute. At the butterfly, sit on the floor and bring the soles of your feet together, and lower your legs out.
   • The yoga pigeon pose is also a great hip opener. Swing your leg forward and rotate your shin at a 90 degree angle to your leg. Reach for your back leg. Shift the weight in your hip so that you are evenly balanced and hold this position for at least one minute before doing the other side.
2. Wear high heels. Hold your standing posture. Keep in mind that this will often make your gait more feminine, but also accentuate the curvature of your back and lock your knees, which will be detrimental to your back in the long run.
3. Visualize a line on the ground in front of you. Raise your thigh slightly on your dominant leg and place your foot in front of you from heel to toe. Your step should be about the length of your foot.
4. Repeat your step to start walking. Let your hips sway slightly toward the leading foot. Women have a lower center of gravity and the hips naturally sway, especially if you're wearing high heels.
5. Keep your shoulders and back straight. Don't lead with your head, chin, shoulders, or chest. Your legs should guide your gait, using strong legs and hips and a lower center of gravity.
6. Repeat the process until you get into a rhythm. Remember, as a lady, walking means slightly moving your hips back and forth without the shoulders participating. Don't take too big steps or it will look unnatural.
7. Practice walking with a book on your head to improve your balance and posture. It can help you make your gait second nature!
