Boat Twists

An advanced version of the regular yoga pose called Boat...  You'll feel this one!

Grab a kitchen towel!  Place in both hands and sit on the floor.  Try to raise your heels up off the floor.  Bent legs are easier than straight legs, so try and straighten your legs through this exercise.  Hold the towel up so your arms about a foot apart.  Keeping your arms straight, while you are balancing with your legs in the air, go side to side trying to touch the floor with your hands.

If you can't keep your legs up in the air, try placing one heel on the floor and just alternate those heels once in awhile!  If you still can't do it, no worries, just place both heels on the floor and go side to side with the towel rotating at the core.
