Lying Crossed Legs Pelvic Twist
Starting Position:
Lie down on your back on a flat surface, like a yoga mat or soft carpet.
Extend your arms out to the sides, forming a "T" shape with your body.
Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
Cross Your Legs:
Lift your right leg and cross it over your left leg.
Make sure your knees are aligned so that your right knee is positioned above your left knee.
Twisting Movement:
Slowly lower your legs to the left side while keeping your shoulders on the ground.
You should feel a gentle stretch in your lower back and hips as you twist.
Hold the position for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
Returning to Start:
Engage your core and lift your legs back to the starting position.
Uncross your legs and place your feet flat on the ground again.
Repeat on the Other Side:
Cross your left leg over your right and repeat the twisting movement to the right side.
Hold for another 15-30 seconds.
Finishing:
Return to the starting position with your legs uncrossed.
Take a few deep breaths to relax your body and feel the effects of the stretch.
