Seated side lean hold

  • Duration: 5 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Energy boost

Sit tall on the floor or a sturdy chair with your knees bent and feet flat, hands resting on your thighs. This is your starting position. Breathe out as you lean your torso a few centimetres to one side, reaching your same-side hand down toward the floor while keeping your hips square and facing forward. Hold the leaned position for 3 to 5 slow breaths, breathing steadily, then return to centre with control. Repeat on the other side, 2 to 3 times each.
