Lying Elbow Side-Plank to Knee Bent-Leg

Setup

1. Lie on one side on a yoga mat with your legs extended, or the bottom knee slightly bent for stability.

2. Prop yourself up on your forearm, ensuring your elbow is directly underneath your shoulder.

3. Keep your bottom shoulder engaged and away from your ear to maintain proper alignment.

4. Stretch your top arm overhead, keeping it straight.

Movement

1. Simultaneously lift your top leg toward the ceiling while bending your top knee and bringing it toward your torso.

2. At the same time, bring your top elbow down to meet your knee in a controlled crunching motion.

3. Make sure to engage your obliques as you bring the elbow and knee toward each other.

4. Slowly extend the leg back out and reach the arm overhead to return to the starting position.

5. Keep your movements fluid and maintain core tension throughout the exercise.
