Conseils techniques
Don't force the twist. Instead, twist gradually from the base of your spine, moving upwards to your neck. This is where the rotation should be coming from, not your shoulders or neck.
A common mistake is to lean back into the twist. Instead, you should be sitting up straight and using your core to twist. Leaning back can cause strain on the spine and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise. Inhale to lengthen the spine and exhale to deepen the twist. Holding your breath can cause tension in the body, reducing the effectiveness of the stretch.
