- Bend one knee and place the foot flat on the ground on the outside of the opposite knee.
- Place the opposite elbow on the outside of the bent knee to help guide the twist.
- Gently rotate your torso towards the bent knee, using your elbow as leverage.
- Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply.
