Twists support the body in a very practical way.
From standing twists like Kati Chakrasana,
to stronger shapes like Twisted Goddess Pose,
and softer variations like a simple seated spinal twist- Parivritta Sukhasana, they all bring their own benefits.
• Twists can help relieve constipation by gently stimulating digestion.
• They strengthen and improve flexibility through the spine and waist.
• They engage the arms and legs, while opening the neck and shoulders.
• They support the abdominal muscles and lower back.
• Twist cal also support the breath, creating more space for the lungs to expand.
In yoga, twists are often linked to the solar plexus, the Manipuri chakra, the centre of inner power and confidence.
Twists are especially helpful if you spend long hours sitting or working at a desk.
Sometimes the simplest movements are the ones your body needs the most.🌪️🔀🧘♀️
See you on the mat 🤗
