Hi there,
This week's one-minute movement: Seated twist
Sit toward the front edge of your chair, feet flat on the floor. Cross your arms over your chest. Keeping your hips facing forward, rotate your upper body slowly to the right as far as it goes comfortably. Hold 2 counts. Return to center. Repeat to the left. Do 8โ10 per side.
Your thoracic spine, the mid and upper back, is built to rotate. It often stops doing so because we spend so much time in forward-flexed positions (phones, keyboards, steering wheels). When thoracic rotation gets restricted, your neck and lower back pick up the slack, which is a losing proposition for both. This one takes under a minute and makes an immediate difference.
End of Summer is one of the best times to try something new โ schedules are looser, the pressure is lower, and a new routine actually has room to breathe. If you've been curious about No Knees Yoga membership, doors are open and now is a genuinely good time to hop in.

Until next week, Karen
