Seated Spine Twist
Why this one

A gentle seated rotation to release the waist before we close — leaving the whole side body long and open.

Hold 30–45 sec

Breath — Slow, relaxed breathing

How to do it

Sit tall, legs extended or crossed, arms reaching wide. Rotate gently to one side, lengthening up through the crown, then return through center and rotate to the other.

Keep in mind

Grow taller as you turn — twist from the waist, not the shoulders.

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? →
