Equipment

No equipment required.

  1. Sit with your knees bent, lean back slightly and brace your abdomen while keeping your spine long.
  2. Hold your hands together close to your chest. Keep your heels down for an easier variation, or lift them slightly if you can keep your balance.
  3. Turn your ribcage and shoulders a small, controlled distance to one side while your hips stay still.
  4. Return through the centre and turn the other way. Avoid swinging your arms or forcing the rotation.

Choose a comfortable range and use secure equipment. The illustration is a movement reference; stop if a movement causes pain.
