Things to know about twists / turns

Physical:

During twists we rotate our upper body. Furthermore, we stimulate digestion and the metabolism of the intervertebral discs and spinal cord is stimulated. In addition, we strengthen our abdominal and back muscles and can thus release blockages. Furthermore, our detoxification is stimulated.

Mental:

Accordingly, we can also release inner tensions or blockages on an emotional level. Thus we find more clarity ?and calmness? and our inner center.

By the way, our teaching experience shows that most yoga clients like twists. To be more precise, our spine usually thanks us directly for the positive stretch. Because through twists we release tension in the spine and in the back - and shoulder area. In doing so, we neutralize our spine and this can have a positive effect on our posture.
