How to
- 1
Sit with your legs straight, bend one knee and place that foot on the floor outside the opposite knee.
- 2
As you inhale, lengthen up from your hips with a straight back.
- 3
As you exhale, twist towards the bent knee, hook the opposite elbow outside it and place your other hand behind you.
- 4
Lengthen with each inhale and twist a little further with each exhale, without forcing it.

After the hold, come back to centre and switch sides.
Tips
Easier version: sit on a folded towel and simply hug your knee instead of hooking your elbow.
