Seated sideways bend

  • Duration: 6 min
  • Level: Beginner

Sit upright on a chair, away from the backrest, with your feet flat on the floor and your arms resting by your sides. Slide your left hand down toward the floor along the outside of your left leg as far as feels comfortable, letting your upper body lean gently to the left. You should feel a stretch along your right side. Hold for 2 to 3 seconds, then return to centre and repeat on the right. Do 3 bends on each side.
