Supine Spinal Twist Pose

Description

Lie on your back, bring your knees toward your chest, then let them drop to one side to come into a twist, with your knees resting on a support such as a yoga block if needed. Keep your shoulders in contact with the floor as much as possible and open your opposite arm out to the side to accompany the rotation. Let your pelvis rotate with your legs without forcing, and keep your neck long and your gaze directed toward the side opposite your knees or neutral, depending on what is comfortable for your neck. Keep your breathing calm, aiming to gradually release tension and support the mobility of your spine, then return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
