Seated
Spinal Twist
Benefit: This twist encourages proper
functioning of the organs, ringing them
out and providing fresh blood and fluid.
BREATH-BY-BREATH
1. Sit on the mat with your legs
extended in front of you. Sit tall, find
your breath and engage the legs. Draw
from your feet up toward your pelvis
and root the tops of the thighs back,
creating a curve in the lower back and
opening the pelvic floor.
2. Bend the right knee and place the
foot across the extended left leg,
placing the foot to the floor. Sit up tall.
Breath to lengthen the sides of the
body. Let the pelvis settle.
3. Place the left hand on the right knee,
keeping the pelvis level and grounded.
4. Take an inhale and twist the upper
body to the right, exhaling deeper into
the twist. Continue breathing, focusing
on the inhales lifting the inner body
and the exhales grounding the pelvis
while you twist deeper.
