Tutorial: Spine Twist

The Spine Twist is an excellent exercise for improving the spine’s range of motion and flexibility in rotation. Keep the shoulders right over your hips. If you are tight in the back of your legs, don’t be afraid to bend the knees and/or elevate the pelvis to start from a tension-free position. If one leg gets longer or shorter as you rotate, you are likely moving your hips as you rotate your spine. Try for a smaller range of motion with lovely stable hips.
