Start in a supine position with a neutral spine and arms extended toward the ceiling, perpendicular to the shoulders. The legs are together in a tabletop position with pointed feet. Inhale, scooping the abdominals to prepare, maintaining axial elongation.
Exhale — Lift the upper body into thoracic flexion, bringing the arms forward and gently imprinting the spine into the mat.
Inhale — Maintain the C-shape of the spine while engaging the abdominals.
Single leg stretch — Exhale while extending the left leg as low as possible while maintaining an imprinted spine. Simultaneously, bend the right leg until the knee aligns with the hip. Gently place your hands on the right leg for support maintaining spinal flexion. Ensure the knee does not bend beyond the tabletop position. Keep the thorax stable and the chest at the same height.
Inhale — Bring both legs back to tabletop position while maintaining the C-shape of the spine and thoracic flexion. Use intercostal breathing.
Exhale — Switch legs, extending the right leg while bending the left. Hands switch to the opposite knee. Keep thoracic flexion stable at the same height.
Note: This tabletop variation emphasizes core activation and trunk and pelvis stability.
Continue alternating legs, performing 8–10 repetitions with smooth, controlled transitions.
