Standing Side-Bend Cross-Leg

Setup

• Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Cross one leg in front of the other, placing the foot of the front leg firmly on the ground.

• Raise the arm on the same side as the back leg overhead, keeping the elbow slightly soft.

Movement

• Inhale as you reach your overhead arm toward the opposite side, keeping your chest open and avoiding rotating your hips.

• Feel a deep stretch along the side of your torso.

• Exhale as you return to the center.

• Perform all repetitions on one side before switching the cross of your legs and the working arm.
