Instructions

Proper Position

  • Get into a half-kneeling position with one knee on the ground and the other leg bent at 90°, foot flat in front of you.
  • Keep your pelvis stable and engage your core to maintain the posture.
  • Place your hands behind your head or cross your arms over your chest.

Movement

  • Slowly rotate your upper body (thoracic spine) toward the side of the forward leg, keeping your lower body stable.
  • Try to rotate as far as possible while keeping your gaze in the direction of the rotation.
  • Slowly return to the neutral position.
  • Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.

Breathing

  • Inhale as you return to center.
  • Exhale as you rotate your torso.

Tips

  • Keep your pelvis steady and avoid letting it follow the upper body’s rotation.
  • Focus on slow and controlled movement to effectively engage the thoracic muscles.
  • If you lack stability, perform the exercise near a wall or support for light assistance.
