Supine Twist: Unwind Before Bed

Letting the knees fall to one side while the shoulders stay down gives the spine a gentle, supported twist. It is one of the most restful ways to end the day.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with the knees bent and the feet on the floor.
  2. Spread the arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
  3. Exhale and let both knees fall to the right.
  4. Turn the head gently to the left if that is comfortable.
  5. Rest for 5 to 8 breaths — a pillow under the knees is fine.
  6. Inhale back to centre and repeat on the other side.
Who this is forAnyone — especially helpful before sleep.
Take careKeep the twist gentle. Avoid it with an acute disc injury, after recent back surgery, and in later pregnancy.
