Part 4/7:
Continuing to emphasize the connection between your core and spine, let’s incorporate deeper stretches. Hug one knee to your chest while stretching the opposite leg out. Avoid any twisting; keep both hips grounded as you breathe deeply into the stretch.
After switching legs, roll over onto your side and come up to a seated position before transitioning to hands and knees – a classic starting point for many yoga practices.
Engaging the Spine and Abs
In a tabletop position with your hands under your shoulders and knees beneath your hips, visualize your spine lengthening as you stretch one arm forward and the opposite leg back. This encourages your body to maintain stability, engaging your core while promoting a healthy spine alignment.
