Side Bend Stretch

Description

Move into a Child’s Pose, anchor your pelvis, and stretch your arms out straight in front of you. As you exhale, walk your hands over to one side and lean your torso in that direction to create space between your ribs and the top of your pelvis, without letting the pelvis move the same way. Feel the side of your body lengthen and breathe into the ribs on the stretching side to enhance mobility. Then slowly return to the starting position and repeat the movement on the other side.
