Apart from strengthening and lengthening the muscles protecting the spine, twists help alleviate back pain and tension and improve posture and alignment. The twisting motions increase mobility in the vertebral column, massage internal organs, massage nutrients in and through the spine, aid in moving material through the digestive system, tone back and core muscles, and balance energy flow throughout the main energy channel (Sushumna) that travels along the line of the spine. First, if you have problems with your lumbar disks, you need to exercise caution with poses that include forward bends, especially those that include twisting along with the bends. It may have the ability to improve bloodstream flow towards the mind, which further encourages the ships resulting in the mind. Some people may find that Twisting Dragon stretches the groin more (by pushing the knee outward) than the normal Dragon pose. If the spine is already moving into another plane and then one twists into a pose that is adding the transverse plane motion, the vertebrae can be experiencing severe blockages and may worsen the condition of the spinal disorder.

This is why twists are a very accessible way for people suffering from muscular lower back issues to stretch into this area of the body. Sometimes lower back pain can occur from a lack of movement. Regardless of the position of the Yoga twist (lying, sitting, standing, or inverted), I follow a simply principle: the spine should not be in a forward bend, back arch, or side bend in any form or degree prior to twisting. In lying twists, be aware that when the pelvis rotates opposite to the shoulders that the pelvis is not being pulled out of the plane of the spine such that the spine is curving to that side.

Twisting Dragon adds twisting for the spine to maintain flexibility. Dragon pose stretches the groin, ankles, and hip flexors.

Most often, the gaze is directed in the direction of movement in the pose. By focusing on the side of the body opposite from the direction you’re twisting, Danny says, you can create more depth in your experience, fostering multidimensional awareness of your body. Backward wrists: On all fours, rotate your hands right up until fingers are pointing in the direction of you, with forearms facing the entrance and gently lean back. When both the hands touch each other after stretching you would feel a sense of achievement. The squeezing and twisting of the towel by your hands will do the job the muscle mass to give you a stronger grip and a handshake that is sure to impress the very best of them! Twisting yoga poses offer a plethora of benefits beyond flexibility and relaxation. Lengthen your spinal muscles and increase your energy with these twisting yoga poses. I like to imagine twisting like turning a screw into a bolt.

Just like lining up the threads of the screw and bolt, I like to take time to line up the vertebrae in the most spacious placement. Twisting Yoga poses like Half Twist pose, Revolving Triangle pose, and Revolving Side Angle pose create joyous benefits. Focus on the opposite side. For example, if you’re revolving to the right in a seated twist, bring your attention to the left side. When you rotate into your twist, feel that it isn’t driven heavily into just one portion of the vertebral column - let the twist flow evenly and naturally from the sacrum up to the neck. Once in the twist, enjoy relaxing your shoulders - not tense and lifting into the neck. The neck is made up of small, delicate bones, and thus more mobile than the upper and middle back. With all twists, try to set the spine such that the belly, waist, and back feel completely even - no curves, bends, or leaning. The key to avoiding neck strain in twists, Danny says, is to come into twists slowly, allowing the mid- and upper back to lead the action of rotation, with the head moving last. Twists can help restore our natural range of motion while decompressing the vertebrae in a safe way.
