How to practice
Keep your front knee steady and make room through your spine before twisting. Turn your chest toward the front leg without forcing the elbow outside it.
Benefits
Builds leg endurance and balance while training controlled rotation through the torso.
Who should avoid or modify
- Keep the front knee aligned with the toes and lower the rear knee if needed. Do not lever the twist with the elbow; avoid closed abdominal compression during pregnancy.
