Stretch and Relax Pt. 2

Lying down twist

Lie flat on the floor and stretch your feet and arms away from you – making yourself as long a possible.

Draw your knees up to your chest.

Moves knees over to one side – working towards having the lower knee touching the floor.

NB: both shoulders to remain on the floor at all times.

If lower leg doesn’t touch the floor encourage it to do so by placing your hand on the upper knee .

BREATHE DEEPLY AND ON THE OUT BREATHE ENCOURAGE THE KNEE TO THE FLOOR.

IF THE KNEE REACHES THE FLOOR EASILY THEN TRY PULLING THE LEGS FURTHER UP TOWARDS THE CHEST.

Once you have reached your maximum position hold and breath for 20-30 seconds.

Repeat at least twice each side. On the second repitition you will go much further.
