Seated Knee Up Rotation Stretch
One leg long, the other knee drawn up, turn the chest toward the raised knee; the knee gives the arm a lever.
How to do it
Setup
On the floor, one leg straight, the other knee bent up with its foot flat, back tall.
Steps
- Brace the opposite arm against the raised knee.
- Turn the chest toward that knee, the free hand on the floor behind.
- Hold, then switch legs and turn the other way.
Common mistakes
Slumping to turn further: sit tall first, then turn. Wrenching on the knee: the arm steadies; the back does the turning. Straight leg rolling out: keep it long and still.
Breathing
Exhale into the turn, then breathe evenly in the hold.
