3-Inhale and begin to roll half way to your right side, then extend and bend both knees.(make sure that you control your torso, don’t go beyond your limits)come back to center, exhale.
4-Repeat the same move in the opposite side, control your torso and shoulders. Inhale,and roll half way to your left, extend and bend your knees. Come back to center, exhale.
