Spine Twist
The Work · Move 10 of 15
Starting position
Sit cross-legged (or legs extended), arms wide to the sides.
How to do it
Inhale to grow taller. Exhale to twist the upper torso right in two small pulses. Inhale to center; exhale to twist left. 4 times per side.
Keep in mind
Twist your ribs like wringing out a wet towel. · Keep both sit bones equally weighted.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
