Cross-legged twist (parsvasukhasana)

Start by sitting in a simple cross-legged posture, with a cushion or folded blanket underneath your hips to lift your pelvis off the floor. 

Exhale and twist to the left, taking your right hand to the left knee and your left arm behind.

Inhale and return to center. Repeat on the other side, and go back and forth several times, moving with your breath. 

Keep your spine erect and your breath flowing smoothly throughout the repetitions.

Twisting asana restrict the movement of the breath into the abdomen and make it a little more difficult to breathe, which can increase feelings of anxiety.
