LATERAL SIDE BEND STRETCH
Sets: 1
Reps: 10-15 breaths each side
On your knees, extend one leg out to the side.
Side bend your trunk in the opposite direction and support yourself with your arm.
Reach and extend the top arm in the opposite direction of the extended leg. Open your chest away from the floor.
You should feel a gentle stretch along the side body and abdomen, maybe some inner thigh.
Hold this for 10-15 breaths, allowing the ribcage to expand on the inhales and recoil back down on the exhales.
Repeat on the other side.
Modifications:
Decrease the range of motion of the stretch. It is not advised to push through any painful pulling or tugging.
