How to do the Seated Goddess Twist

1. Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the floor, knees wide, and toes turned slightly out.
2. Place your hands on your knees and lean your chest forward with a long spine.
3. Press one hand into its knee as you dip that shoulder toward the opposite knee, turning your chest away.
4. Hold for a few breaths, then return to center and switch sides.

Tips

• Use your hands on your knees to gently encourage your hips open.

Adjustments

• Bring your knees a little closer together if the stretch in your inner thighs feels strong.
