• Turn the torso to the left and place the left hand on the floor behind the body towards the right buttock and have the fingers pointing backwards.
• Place the right hand behind and slightly to the side of the left buttock, as close to the left hand as possible.
• Using the arms as levers, twist the head and torso to the left as far as comfortable while maintaining integrity in the spine.
