Supine Spinal Twist Yoga Pose
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Slowly, bend your right knee and bring it towards your chest, then gently guide it across your body using your left hand, aiming to place your right knee on the left side of your body.
Extend your right arm out to the right side, keeping it in line with your shoulder, and turn your head to look towards your right hand.
Hold this position for a few breaths, feeling the stretch along your spine and in your lower back.
Gently return to the starting position and repeat the same steps on the opposite side.
Pro Tip
Alignment: When you are in the pose, your shoulders should be flat on the ground. A common mistake is to let the shoulder lift off the ground as you twist. If you find it difficult to keep your shoulder down, you can use a yoga block or bolster under your knee for support. Breathing: Don't hold your breath. In yoga, your breath is your guide. As you inhale, think about lengthening your spine, and as you exhale, try to deepen the twist. This can help you get the most out of the exercise. Don't Force It: One common mistake is trying to force your body into the twist. This can cause strain or injury
