Seated Twist can either be done in traditional Indian style position, Half Lotus with your
foot up on your thigh or if you really want to get advance with it, you can have both
feet. But we're cooling down here so we really want to relax our sit bones into the mat,
maintaining neutral posture, neutral pelvis and spine lifting up through the top of the
head. We're going to take one hand behind us and we're going to reach up. Looking at
our hands, under the driagno and you want to make sure you come back and you really
releasing the oblique?s, the sides, the hips, all the way up through the fingertips in the
opposite direction. And then we're going to take our arms, almost called "I dream a Genie"
cause we're glad that the work out's over and we're cooling out. So we're look over,
and we're going to follow our hands with an exhale center, inhale, and follow your arms,
look at your elbow or your fingers whichever extension you can get, working with an active
brynju motion. Inhale, exhale and release. And you always want to follow this up with
extension on your cool down because having your hands folded and turning laterally is
going to create a contraction so you want to release that contraction. And that as you're
working in mobility in one plain of motion that way you're getting extension in that
plain of motion as well for Seated Twist during your cool down.
