Pro Tip

Controlled Movement: Slowly twist your torso to one side, keeping your hips facing forward. Hold the position for about 15-30 seconds. Repeat on the other side. Common mistake: Avoid fast, jerky movements. This can cause muscle strain or injury. Arm Placement: Extend your arms out to the sides for balance and to increase the stretch. Common mistake: Not extending your arms fully or keeping them too close to your body can reduce the effectiveness of the stretch. Use of Eyes: Your gaze should follow the direction of your torso. This helps in achieving a full rotation. Common mistake: Not turning your head with your torso can limit the degree of rotation and reduce the stretch. Breathing: Breathe deeply
