Half Lord of the Fishes Pose

Description

Sit on the floor, bend one knee, and place your foot on the outside of your opposite straight leg. Sit up tall, place one hand behind you for support, then hold your bent knee with your other hand to support the thoracic twist. Keep your pelvis stable, lengthen your spine with each inhalation, and gradually deepen the rotation with each exhalation. Keep your neck long, with your gaze following the twist or staying neutral, depending on what is comfortable for your neck. Hold the position for several calm breaths, keeping your foot firmly planted and the toes of your straight leg engaged, then return to the center with control and repeat on the other side.
