From a lunge with the back heel lifted, you turn your torso across the front thigh and hook the opposite elbow outside that knee, palms pressed together at the chest, so the whole trunk twists against the anchored legs; the full version takes the lower hand to the floor outside the foot.

Hold 20 to 30 seconds per side, 2 rounds, back heel lifted so the hips can square.
A strong twist compresses the abdomen, so avoid it in pregnancy and go gently with disc problems or a cranky lower back. Breathing gets shallow in deep twists; back off if you cannot breathe smoothly, and keep the front knee over the ankle.
