Thank you for showing these poses. The seated twist is much easier when you sit on something, like a rolled blanket or towel. And for the lying twist the knees can be bent, so it is more accessible.

I am grateful for the adaptions, and a bit jealous you can touch your toes 🙂. Someday maybe my hips will become more flexible. I have always had stiff hips, even when I did years of Ballet. Being in my mid 50's with Osteopenia in my hips (almost Osteoperosis) I have been looking for ways to stretch them and strenghthen them. Thank you again for your wonderful explanations. ~ Dee
