The side line

Ribs to hip, the long way. For anyone who has sat leaning on one elbow since about 2019.

What we do

This session works on the side of the body, from the outer hip to the armpit. We start on the floor, move slowly, and stop at three points where you can stay if the next step is too much today.

I talk through the first round and then keep quiet, so you can hear your own breathing instead of mine.

You will need

  • A wall to sit beside

  • Clothes you can move in

  • About two metres of floor

Go easy if

Anything pinches, tingles or goes numb. Back off to the last position that felt like work rather than warning, and stay there.
