March Matness 2016: #HipTwist

Combine Teaser and Corkscrew and what do you get? Hip Twist with stretched Arms (sometimes called Hip circles too)!  This can be an especially challenging exercise that combines many of the skills from previous exercises.  To do the full version of this exercise you not only do you need to be able to hold your Teaser, but you need to be open enough through your chest and shoulders to hold your Teaser with your hands pressing into the mat or mat poles behind you. Bending the arms and propping yourself on your elbows can be a great way to build the flexibility and strength you need to work toward the straight arm version.
