From a seated position, place the soles of the feet together and open the knees outwards. Take the hands onto the feet and open them out like a book. Inhaling, lift the chest and look up, exhaling, fold forward. Breathe slowly and stay here for 5-10 breaths.

Ardha Matsyendrasana - Simple seated twist

Bring the knees together. Place both hands on the knees and inhaling, lift the chest to sit tall. As you exhale turn to your right, wrapping your left arm around your knees and taking the right hand onto the mattress behind you for support. Stay here breathing slowly for 5-10 breaths. Repeat twisting to the left.

Apanasana - Knees to chest pose

From your seated twist come to lying on your back and hug both knees in towards your chest. As you inhale, feel the legs lift away from the abdomen slightly and as you exhale, use the arms to gently draw them in closer. Breathe slowly here for 5-10 breaths.
