Video Transcript

Moving into a supine, which means lying down spinal twist. So, let's bring our arms out to the sides making a "T" with our arms about shoulder level. Taking a nice deep breath in and as well exhale, let's lower our knees towards the right side. Let's flow with this a few times, inhaling up and exhaling to the other side. And just flowing a few times from side to side with the breath. We are always exhaling as we are twisting. And, inhaling as we come back to center. Something that can be very helpful to some people with this supine twist is a yoga block. You can place that block on the floor. When it's time for you to hold the twist, you can exhale twisting to the side and then resting the legs onto the block if your legs or knees are not able to come all the way to the floor.
