Seated Spinal Twist Stretch

October 1, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Justin from 70’s Big has a nice little stretch for you to try.

I think it is called seated spinal twist in the yoga world.

  • sit on the floor with your legs extended
  • cross right foot over outside of left thigh; bend left knee (or keep it straight like Justin does)
  • keep right knee pointed toward ceiling.
  • place left elbow to the outside of right knee and right hand on the floor behind you
  • twist right as far as you can, moving from your abdomen
  • contract and relax to increase ROM slowly
  • keep both sides of your butt on the floor
  • hold for 1 minute

Check out more drills on Mobility 101.
