Objectives
Use the oblique abdominals to initiate and guide the twist, allowing the rotation to come from the center of the body rather than the limbs.
Create a lengthening stretch through the spinal extensors, encouraging the back body to open and decompress.
Increase overall spinal mobility by combining rotation with controlled flexion, promoting a more supple and responsive spine.
Develop awareness that the spine can twist while in flexion, refining the ability to articulate the vertebrae in multiple planes at once.
Focus on breathing to synchronize the movement.
