One of my favorite stretches when I’ve been sitting for too long, feel stiff through the hips & spine, or simply want something calming and grounding.
It creates a gentle opening through the back body while giving your nervous system a chance to soften and slow down.
👉🏼 How to:
– Lie on your back and place your left foot (sole down) on top of your right thigh
– Walk your right foot across the mat toward the left side until your left hand can comfortably reach it
– Hold the foot lightly to anchor the position (no need to pull hard)
– Place your right hand to the outside of your left thigh and gently guide it toward the floor
– Stay for around 1 minute each side and focus on slow, relaxed breathing
💡 Can’t reach the foot?
Try one of these options:
– Loop a strap around the ankle
– Hold onto your sock or trouser leg
– Or simply let the foot rest wherever it naturally lands and enjoy the twist
🌻Optional: place a block or cushion under the top knee if you’d like a little extra support
☝🏼 If you’re dealing with disc-related injuries or significant spinal conditions, it’s always a good idea to check in with a qualified health professional before trying new movements.
A simple one, but so good after long days, desk time or driving or whenever your body asks for a little reset
📌 Save this for later & send it to someone who could use a little back love today 🤍
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to support you.
