Seated TwistRepeat for each leg/arm
Enhance spine mobility with the Seated Twist. Sit with legs extended, twist your torso to one side, using your opposite arm to deepen the stretch.
Starting position
- Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you.
- Keep your spine tall, and cross one leg over the other, placing the foot flat on the floor.
Motion
- Inhale to lengthen your spine.
- Exhale as you twist your torso to one side, placing the opposite elbow on the outside of the bent knee.
- Use your free arm to support the twist, deepening the stretch.
- Hold the position for the duration of the countdown, feeling the stretch along your spine.
- Switch sides when prompted, maintaining a steady breath.
Tips
- Initiate the twist from your core to engage abdominal muscles.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and down, avoiding tension in the neck.
- Twist gently, respecting your body's limits for a safe stretch.
