Try this Yoga Pose:

Half Lord of the Fishes Pose. Also known as Ardha Matsyendrasana and Seated Spinal Twist

  • Sitting on the floor, bring the sole of your right foot to the floor on the outside of your left thigh.
  • Bend the left knee, and tuck the left foot in next to the right buttock.
  • Inhale and bring your left arm up near your left ear.
  • Exhale and twist the right arm, bringing the left elbow to the outside of your right knee and the right palm to the floor.
  • Look out over your right shoulder. As you inhale, draw the spine longer, and on each exhale, twist a little more.

    This pose helps you to open up and stretch your spine.
