Round Back Torso Twist
Start in a round back "C-Curve" seated position. Hands in prayer. Extend the left leg long and engage the inner thighs to keep the knees/thighs connected. Twist the torso to the right, away from the lifted leg. Maintain square hips and parallel legs on the rotation. Focus on spinal rotation to twist the torso. Return torso back to center.

Side Lying Leg Lifts

Ensure the hips remain stacked, shoulders under the ears, and both sides of the obliques engaged. Lift and lower legs simultaneously; using the inner thighs to keep the legs together.
