Spine Twist
Sitting tall with the legs straight together and the arms folded in front, the upper body turns to each side from a still pelvis.
How to do it
Setup
Sitting on the floor, legs straight and together, feet flexed, arms folded at chest height.
Steps
- Sit up tall, then turn the chest to one side.
- Keep the legs level and the feet together.
- Return to the front and turn to the other side.
Common mistakes
Rounding the back to turn further: lift tall first, turn second. One foot sliding ahead of the other: the legs stay level and together. Arms swinging to add range: they stay folded and turn with the chest.
Breathing
Exhale turning, inhale coming back to the middle.
