Sit comfortably toward the front of the chair with your feet flat on the floor, knees slightly apart and aligned with the hips. Keep the spine long and relaxed. Open your arms out to the sides, imagining you are holding a rainbow — each palm supporting one end of its arc. Gently shift your weight into one sit bone, and as you do, bend sideways toward the opposite side (so if you shift right, you lean left). Keep the movement soft and spacious, lifting through the ribs rather than collapsing. This gentle lateral stretch supports the Stomach meridian, traditionally linked with digestion and overall nourishment. The movement can also help release tension across the shoulders and encourage ease in the nervous system. Return to centre, switch sides, and continue flowing side to side, as though moving beneath a rainbow that arches and softens with each breath.
