Chair Seated Side-Bend Stretch

Sit upright near the front of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor and arms relaxed by your sides.

Inhale deeply to lengthen your spine, then raise your right arm straight up overhead.

Exhale as you gently bend your torso to the left side, keeping your hips stable and facing forward.

Hold this stretched position while breathing smoothly into your right side for twenty to thirty seconds.

Inhale as you slowly return to the upright starting position and lower your arm.

Repeat the stretch on the opposite side by raising your left arm and bending to the right.
