Striving4Zen

The twisting motion of this pose helps to stimulate the liver and kidneys.

Get into the pose:

• Sit tall on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you.

• Keeping the left leg strong, bend your right knee and put the foot on the floor with the heel as close to the right sitting bone as possible.

• Rotate your torso to the right and wrap your left arm around the right thigh.

• Place your right fingertips on the floor just behind your back.

• Continue to gently increase the rotation as your spine becomes more supple and flexible.

• Repeat on the opposite side.
