Kneeling Back Rotation Stretch
On all fours, sweep one arm up and turn the chest until the arm points at the ceiling; a held turn of the middle back.
How to do it
Setup
On hands and knees, hands under the shoulders, knees under the hips.
Steps
- Lift one arm and turn the chest toward it.
- Turn until the arm points straight UP, eyes on the hand.
- Hold, then lower the arm and switch sides.
Common mistakes
Hips drifting toward the lifted arm: keep them over the knees. Supporting elbow bending: keep it straight. Neck leading the turn: the head follows the hand.
Breathing
Exhale into the turn, then breathe evenly in the hold.
