Quadruped thoracic rotation

Get on your hands and knees into quadruped position. This is an active position in all parts. Place your hands on the ground under your shoulders. Five fingers of each hand are spread out, middle finger forward, pressing the pads gently the whole time. Tuck your toes under, making sure your hands, knees, and feet are all in the same line. Make sure your spine is in neutral alignment, then tuck your tail slightly, brace your core. Take one hand to the back of your head, elbow out wide. Inhale and bring that elbow down to the other elbow, then brace your core as you exhale and rotate, lifting the elbow. Don’t force things. Just carefully seek to increase the range of motion with each rep.
