Another bit of yoga I love if I only have 5 minutes — especially if those 5 minutes occur toward the end of my day or any other time when my energy level might be low.
Essentially, my process is this:
- Select any variation of a reclining spinal twist (some options available in the video below). I tend to select one that is gentle enough for me to hold comfortably for a long-ish time. Usually, this does not involve supportive props, but other people’s knees and backs may vary.
- Hold for 2-3 minutes (I like 3, but to fit inside 5 minutes, it would really have to be 2 or 2:30) on each side.
- Whole lot of stretching, whole lot of relaxing. Good times.
