Stretch and Surrender: #27 Trunk Rotation Stretch

Benefits: Improves flexibility of the hips and spine. Stretches the shoulder muscles.

METHOD: Lie on your back. Bend your right knee. Raise your arms to a "T" position. Allow your right knee to drop to the left. Hook your right foot behind your left knee. Turn your head to the right. Hold for 15-30 seconds. Return to the starting position and repeat. Do the stretch twice on the other side.

Tip: Your bent knee does not have to touch the floor. What counts is feeling a stretch along your trunk.
