Scorpion
Starting Posture
Start by lying face down on the mat with your arms extended out to the sides at shoulder height.
How to Exercise
Lift your right leg off the mat and bend it at the knee, bringing your foot towards your head. As you do this, try to twist your body to the right, reaching your right foot towards your left hand. Hold this position for a few breaths before returning to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lift your leg and bend it towards your head, exhale as you twist your body and reach your foot towards your hand. Remember to breathe deeply and smoothly throughout the exercise.
Common errors
Avoid collapsing in the shoulders or arching the lower back excessively. Make sure to keep your hips level and engage your core muscles to support your spine.
