How to Thread the Needle for Spinal Rotation

Start in a 4-point kneeling position (hips over your knees, shoulders over your hands). Feed your right arm through your opposite arm and leg. Reaching your hand/fingers as far away from you as you can do and lowering the right shoulder to the floor. Return to the start position.

As an extra rotation, you can put your hand on your side of the head, and point your elbow and shoulder all the way up to the sky/ceiling. Return to the start position.

When you do this you’ll be working throughout your full range of movement.

Repeat 4-5 times with the right arm before repeating with the left.
