Twisted Cobra

Lie on your belly with your legs hips-width distance apart. Extend your arms straight out in front of you.
As you lift your head up off the ground, begin to slowly walk your hands in, keeping your hips and thighs on the ground, but gently arching your lower back. Walk them in as far as you can, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
Actively relax, keeping your gaze forward or lowering your head back between your shoulder blades.
From this position, rotate the center of your chest toward the left as you look to your left foot. Stay here for five to eight breaths and then return center to your cobra pose.
Rest if needed and repeat on the left side for the same amount of counts.
