Supine Spinal Twist
If you are suffering from back pain or having problem with digestion then performing supine spinal twist pose helps. It stretches back muscles along with spine. It also stimulates abdominal organs, kidneys, bladder and intestine. It is a basic yoga pose and helps in releasing stress. When we twist opposite to our bending knee, it also helps to release the hamstrings and strengthens thighs. Performing supine spinal twist two to three times a day helps in giving flexibility to entire abdominal region and refreshes back muscles. – Healthy Life
Inhale and engage your core. Bend your right leg and draw the knee to your chest, letting your shoulder blades settle onto the mat.
As you exhale, draw your right knee across the left side of your body. Allow the spine to gently rotate, placing your left hand on top of your right knee for support. Rest your bent knee on the ground, so your right thigh aligns with your hips.
Inhale and extend your right arm out to the side, at shoulder height, with your palm facing up.
Feel free to draw your gaze toward the open arm to deepen the stretch.
Hold this pose for up to 10 slow breaths.
To exit, inhale and release onto your back. Exhale and extend the right leg; then repeat on the opposite leg.

Feel free to place a block under the knee for support.
