Standing Spinal Twist
Why this one

A loose, swinging twist warms the waist and obliques and brings easy rotation back to the spine before the deeper work.

How to do it

Stand with soft knees and loose arms. Let your torso swing side to side, arms wrapping naturally around your body. Look over one shoulder, then the other.

Keep in mind

Let your arms be heavy and free.

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? →
