Seated Rotation Stretch
Sitting cross-legged, one hand on the opposite knee and the other on the floor behind, turn the chest to one side, then the other.
How to do it
Setup
Sitting tall cross-legged on the floor, hands resting on the knees.
Steps
- Place one hand on the opposite knee and the other on the floor behind you.
- Turn the chest and head toward the back hand.
- Come back through the middle and switch hands to turn the other way.
Common mistakes
Slouching into the turn: sit up tall before each twist. Yanking on the knee for range: turn only as far as the spine goes by itself. Hips shifting off center: keep both sit bones down.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale through the middle.
