Front Spinal Twist Standing Pose in Hatha Yoga

Video Transcript

"MARCELLE LEE: Continuing with warrior pose. Working into a spinal twist but from the front rather from than from the back. Okay, opening the feet up, tucking the hips under, shoulders up, back, down back. Don't forget to squeeze. Opening your arms up, turning the foot out, reaching the ribcage. Reach, reach, reach. Reach, reach, reach. Look at your front fingers, keep reaching. This time, we take the opposite hand to the top of the hip. We slide this arm down as far as it will go, reaching one arm on top of the other and breathe. Feel that nice spinal twist. You're not pulling down, you're lifting up. Once again, strengthening those obliques, these abdominals. Deep, deep breathe. Dropping the arm. Come on back to the center. Foot faces front, bend the knees, hands to the knees, chin to the chest, round roll up, all the way up, shoulders up, back, down back, open the arms up, turning this foot out, reaching the ribcage, look at your front fingers. Don't forget to breathe, turn, hand to the outside of the hip, sliding it down, down, down, other arm on top of the other, twist, look up and breathe. And dropping that arm down, coming back to the front, bringing this foot front, bending the knees, hands to the knees, chin to the chest, round roll, all the way up, up, up. And here we have it. Shake everything up."
