Back Diagonal Twist

​

      Lying on your front with legs straight, overlap your hands and bring them under your forehead (Crocodile pose), begin to breathe slowly feeling your lower back expand to the sides.

 

• tighten your right buttock

• use the buttox to lift a straight right leg

• bring left fingertips to left ear

• lift left shoulder, arm and head

• draw left shoulder down and across toward right buttox

​

      Sense and feel the muscles along the diagonal line

​

Tighten:  Feel all your back muscles. Gently try to tighten these                                 muscles.  

Focus:    Concentrate on these tight muscles. Hold this mental connection                 with the muscle 

Release: Slowly, very slowly relax the muscles you are focusing on. As                     the muscles relax allow your shoulder and leg to return to a                         neutral position 

Pause:    Take a few slow breaths. Sense and feel what you have done.                     Let your brain save this experience.

​

Repeat this 3 times

Repeat with opposite leg and arm
