Spinal Twist
Still on your back, straighten both legs and stretch your arms out to the side, palms up. Bend your right knee so your foot is flat on the mattress and pulled close to your behind. Then draw the bent leg across your body and use the opposite hand to apply light pressure to the top of the thigh. Gently turn your head to your open palm and hold for ten to 12 breaths. Repeat on the other side.
