The first arc encourages the spine to lengthen from side to side. Continue to breathe as you soften, lengthen, and release into this shape.
For the second arc, turn the face toward the underarm, making contact between the finger pads and the occipital ridge on the back of the skull. Continue to lengthen the spine in this gentle twist as you allow the breath to arrive and depart on its own through parted lips.
For the third arc, turn the head away from the top elbow, leaning gently back into the pillow of your open palm. Allow the front of the spine to lengthen as your breath continues to deepen.
Switch sides.
When you’re finished, try to take your work with you into the next thing you do.
