Half-Kneeling Torso Twist
Kneeling on one knee with the other leg straight out to the side, the fists together at the chest; the trunk turns side to side.
How to do it
Setup
One knee down under the hip, the other leg straight out to the side, fists together at the chest, elbows out.
Steps
- Turn the chest to one side as far as the hips allow.
- Keep the hips facing forward.
- Turn through the middle to the other side.
Common mistakes
Hips turning with the chest: the pelvis stays square. Leaning onto the straight leg: keep the trunk upright over the knee. Dropping the elbows: hold the arms level.
Breathing
Exhale rotating, inhale returning.
