Twist Step Stretch
From a deep lunge with both hands inside the front foot, turn the chest open and reach one arm to the ceiling, then back down.
How to do it
Setup
Step into a deep lunge, back leg long, both hands on the floor inside the front foot.
Steps
- Lift the arm on the side of the front leg and turn the chest toward it.
- Reach that hand to the ceiling, eyes following it.
- Return the hand to the floor and repeat.
- Finish the set, then switch sides.
Common mistakes
Back knee sagging to the floor: press the back heel away and keep the leg long. Hips twisting with the chest: keep them square while the ribs turn. Reaching by leaning back: turn from the upper back, chest over the front knee.
Breathing
Exhale turning open, inhale returning the hand.
