In the right-side supine twist, which action is performed on the inhale before twisting?

• A. Hug your right knee to your right shoulder
• B. Exhale supine twist
• C. Reach arms to a T
• D. Look right

Answer: (A)

Breath coordinates the setup in this pose. In the right-side supine twist, you inhale to prepare the body and create space before twisting. On the inhale, you hug your right knee to your right shoulder. This action brings the knee into the chest, stabilizes the pelvis, and helps lengthen the spine so the twist can come from the torso rather than from forcing the lower back. The breath also helps open the chest, giving room for a smoother, safer rotation once you transition into the twist on the exhale. The other components—twisting, using the arms as supports, and where you look—are things that come with the twisting phase, not the inhale prep.
