Side stretch. Since we already stretched the front of the body and we already stretch the back of our body, lets stretch our spine from side to side. We are going inner lace our hands and we are going to reach our hands towards the ceiling. We are going to squeeze our arms in towards our cheeks and we are going to lean over to our left side making sure that we keep our right hip rooted down. Just go as far as you can so you feel a nice stretch on the right side of the body. Lets hold here for a breathe. Inhale come back to center. See if you can reach the hands a little bit higher lifting the rib cage up off the waist and exhale bring the hands over to the right side. Again making sure that you keep the left hip rooted down. Lets hold for another breathe. Inhale back to center lifting the rib cage, stretching the spine, and then exhale. Release the pose.
