I love doing yoga twists and they have so many benefits for our system
1. Relief of Back Pain
The lower back
withstands a considerable amount of weight when you are standing or
sitting throughout the day. This puts pressure on the lower vertebrae,
which restricts circulation to the area.
Twisting yoga poses help to release pressure in the lower back by
restoring circulation, increasing flexibility and correcting posture.
These postures rejuvenate the spinal column and improve range of motion.
This makes daily spinal yoga twists an excellent way to relieve back
pain.
2. Cleanse and Detoxify the Body
Twisting yoga poses
massage inner muscles and organs, essentially wringing out toxins while
bringing in a rush of fresh oxygen and nutrients. Yoga twists flush
impurities from inner tissues and help organs perform their functions
properly.
3. Stimulate Digestion and Circulation
A sluggish
digestive system can cause a whole array of health issues. By performing
twisting yoga poses daily, one can keep the system running optimally.
As well circulation will improve allowing the body to be fully hydrated
thus increasing mobility.
4. Tone Abdominal Muscles
Twisting
yoga poses incorporate all abdominal muscles. By practicing yoga twists
regularly a practitioner will strengthen and tone all abdominal muscles
and will notice a shift in abdomen size.
