How to practice
Lengthen forward through your chest and back through the lifted heel. Turn the chest only a little while keeping both hips steady.
Benefits
Challenges single-leg balance, standing-hip strength, and trunk control during a twist.
Who should avoid or modify
- Use a block and wall support. Keep the standing knee soft and reduce the twist if the pelvis wobbles or the back hurts; choose a non-twisting balance during pregnancy.
