Hold the chair back. Turn toward it. Hips stay square.
- Sit sideways on the chair with the backrest at one side, feet flat, knees pointing straight ahead.

Tips: Let the turn come from the upper back and the ribs. Your hips stay planted and square. Ease into it with the hands; never yank on the chair.
Easier: Turn without holding the chair, hands resting on your thigh. Keep the turn small.
