3. Place your left arm on the outside of your right knee, and your right hand on the floor behind you for support.

4. Gently twist your torso to the right, pushing against your right knee with your left arm to deepen the stretch.

5. Keep your back straight and shoulders down. Look over your right shoulder to complete the rotation.

6. Hold the stretch for about 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and slowly.

7. Release the stretch and return to the starting position.
