Rotating Stomach Stretch
Face down, press up onto straight arms with the hips down, then bend one arm and lower that shoulder; the stretch twists across the stomach.
How to do it
Setup
Face down, hands on the floor beside the shoulders, legs long, hips down.
Steps
- Straighten the arms to lift the chest, hips on the floor, eyes forward.
- Bend one arm slowly and turn that shoulder down toward the floor.
- Hold and breathe, then press back up and turn the other way.
Common mistakes
Hips peeling off the floor as the chest rises: rise less, hips down. Dropping the shoulder fast: turn it down slowly and stop at a stretch. Cranking the neck back: eyes forward, neck long.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
