Spine Lumbar Twist Stretch Left is a lying twist for the lower back and waist: on your back with knees bent, you let both knees fall gently to the left while your arms stay out to the sides.

Keep both shoulders on the floor and only take the knees as far as the twist stays comfortable. Hold the position and breathe normally — this is a stretch, so there is no bouncing and no forcing the range.

How to do it

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your arms out to the sides.
2. Let both knees fall gently to the left, keeping both shoulders on the floor.
3. Take the knees only as far as the twist stays comfortable.
4. Hold the position and breathe normally, without bouncing or forcing the range.
