Every movement we include in our classes has intention behind it
If you struggle with stiffness through your upper back, tension from sitting at a desk, poor posture, lower back discomfort or feeling disconnected from your core; side twist movements can be incredibly beneficial.
These movements do far more than simply create a stretch or burn. They help improve spinal and thoracic mobility, strengthen the obliques, support posture and encourage healthier movement patterns throughout the body.
They can also help release built up tension, improve body awareness and support better day to day movement.
So many of us spend long periods sitting, hunched forward and moving mostly in one direction. Rotational movement is something the body often lacks, yet it’s essential for maintaining mobility, strength, balance and spinal health as we move through everyday life.
Swipe through to learn why we incorporate the advanced side twist movements into our classes and the benefits they can have for your body.
