Seated Upper Body Rotation
Sitting cross-legged with the arms straight overhead, the upper body circles: to one side, forward, to the other side and back up.
How to do it
Setup
Sitting tall on the floor, legs crossed, arms straight overhead with the palms together.
Steps
- Lean the upper body out to one side, the arms by the ears.
- Sweep it forward and around to the other side in one circle.
- Rise back to upright and start the next circle.
Common mistakes
Collapsing forward at the front of the circle: keep the back long and the arms by the ears. Hips rocking off the floor: both sit bones stay down. Rushing the circle: slow and even, the same size each time.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
