Deep Lunge with Rotation

LegsBackCore

Your body makes two shapes here, one right after the other. Step into a long lunge, back knee dropping toward the floor, front shin close to vertical — that's shape one, a deep hip stretch through the trailing leg. Then rotate your torso open toward your front leg, reaching that same-side arm up toward the ceiling and letting your chest follow your hand — that's shape two, a twist through your upper back and core. Keep your front knee tracking over your foot rather than caving in, and turn from your ribs instead of yanking with your arm. Return to center with control before stepping back or switching sides.
