How to do it
- Lie on your back, hands behind your head, elbows wide, legs in tabletop. Lift your head and shoulder blades.
- Breathe out and turn your chest towards one knee as it draws in, the other leg reaching out long.
- Breathe in through the middle, then turn to the other side. Your pelvis stays still and your low back down.
Common mistakes
Elbows close in
Elbows closing in and pulling on your head. Keep them wide, and turn from your chest.
Low back arches
Low back lifting off the mat. Reach the long leg higher and keep your back down.
Chest drops
Shoulders dropping to the mat as you turn. Stay lifted and turn your chest.
