Modifications
- Keep the bottom leg extended straight if bending both legs is uncomfortable
- Hug the knee with the arm instead of hooking the elbow for a gentler twist

Cautions

- Use caution during pregnancy; twist gently away from the belly
- Those with sacroiliac joint issues should keep the twist gentle
