The Saw
Starting position

Sit tall, legs wide, arms straight out to the sides like wings.

How to do it

Inhale to twist right. Exhale to dive forward, reaching the left pinky past the right pinky toe as the right arm reaches back. Inhale to lift to center. 3–4 sets.

Keep in mind

Saw your pinky toe off with your pinky finger. · Anchor the opposite hip firmly down.

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? →
