The inhales releasing the stretch, exhales going deeper into the spinal twist. Once you've maintained the spinal twist and feel you can go deeper into this pose, guide the left arm to the outside of the right leg and slide the arm underneath the leg, now reach around with the right arm twisting, looking around to the right and interlock fingers.
