Halfway Side Stretch

Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and reach both arms overhead, interlacing the hands or holding opposite wrists.

Lengthen up through your fingertips on an inhale, growing as tall as you can before you bend.

On an exhale, reach over to one side, curving your spine into a gentle crescent while keeping both feet evenly grounded.

Keep your chest open and rotating slightly upward, drawing your lower ribs in so your lower back stays long and uncompressed.

Ease your shoulders down away from your ears and keep your raised arm active without straining the shoulder.

Hold for 3 to 4 breaths, inhale to rise back to center, then repeat on the opposite side.
