Instructions

Setup

  • Begin in a half-kneeling position, with one knee on the floor and the other foot planted firmly in front of you.

  • Ensure your front knee is at approximately a 90-degree angle, aligned over your ankle.

Execution

  • Place your hand on the knee of your front leg for stability and support.

  • Reach your opposite arm behind your back.

  • Gently rotate your upper body toward the side of your front leg, using your hand to help deepen the twist in your spine.

  • Focus on maintaining a tall, upright posture while feeling a stretch in the hip flexor of your kneeling leg.

  • Hold the position for the desired duration or perform as a rhythmic movement as directed.
