Reclined Twist

You Should Feel

Gentle twist through your spine. Stretch across your chest and outer hip. Release.

How to Get Into the Pose

• 1Lie on your back, draw one knee into your chest
• 2Guide your knee across your body toward the ground
• 3Opposite arm reaches out to the side
• 4Gaze can follow your outstretched hand or stay neutral
• 5Both shoulders stay grounded (top shoulder may lift—that's fine)

Modifications

• •If knee doesn't reach the ground: Place a block or blanket under your knee for support
• •If neck is sensitive: Keep your gaze neutral instead of turning your head
• •To deepen: Extend the leg that's crossing over your body
