Standing Side-Bend Curtsey

Starting Position:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Engage your core by pulling your belly button towards your spine.
3. Place your hands behind your head, keeping your elbows wide.

Movement Instructions:
1. Side Bend:
- Slowly lean to the right side, allowing your right elbow to come down towards your right hip.
- Keep your hips stable and ensure you feel the stretch along your left side.
- Return to the starting position.

2. Curtsey:
- Step your right leg behind your left leg into a curtsey position, lowering your body slightly.
- Ensure your front knee does not extend past your toes.
- Stand back up and return to the starting position.

3. Repeat:
- Alternate between the side bend and the curtsey on the left side.
- Repeat the sequence for 10-15 repetitions on each side.

Tips:
- Maintain a slow and controlled movement to avoid injury.
- Focus on your breathing; inhale as you return to the center and exhale during each bend.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears throughout the exercise.
