Gentle Reclined Twist
Spinal release, wind-down
How to
Lying on your back with knees bent, let both knees drop gently to one side while keeping both shoulders resting on the floor, turning your head the opposite way if comfortable.
Benefits
- A calming, passive twist that releases the lower back and spine
- Popular as a final wind-down stretch before bed
- Supporting the knees with a pillow makes it even more restful
Practice
Hold 30-60 seconds per side, letting the weight of your legs do the work rather than pulling them down.
