Learn T-Spine Twist to Sunshine Squat with Keighty (2 Mins)
Classes by Keighty Gallagher
•
2m 35s
This movement combo will warm up your full body and work your mobility in both the hips and spine. To start your T-Spine Twist, stand at top of your mat and begin to soften your knees into a forward fold, exhaling into it. Focus on hinging at your hips and engaging your back to keep from rounding out. From here, reach one arm high into the air and keep the other on the floor, driving down into the floor. Return to your fold, and repeat with the opposite arm. Back in a forward fold, place your fingers on your feet and drop into a low squat. Bring your hands to stack above your elbows, and push against the inside of your thighs using your arms. Lengthen your spine, open up through the front of your chest, and breath into this stretch. When settled, extend one arm at a time above your head, returning to your Sunshine Squat. Raising both arms above your head, push up with your legs to return to standing.
