Supine Spinal Twist

You Should Feel

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

How to Get Into the Pose

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

Modifications

• •If knee doesn't reach ground: Place block or blanket under knee
• •If neck is sensitive: Keep gaze neutral
• •If too intense: Keep bottom leg bent instead of extended
• •To deepen: Extend the leg that's crossing over your body
