How to do the Twisted Sphinx Stretch

1. Start in tabletop, extend one leg back, and thread the other leg under your body so the foot reaches out to the opposite side.
2. Lower your hips toward the floor and come down onto your forearms.
3. Stay in the twist, breathing into the stretch before switching sides.

Tips

• Relax your neck and shoulders by keeping your gaze down.

Adjustments
