YOGA TWISTS
CREATING SAFE PRACTICE
Yoga twists are a great way to squeeze out and rinse the body clean of toxins such as lactic acid which build up in muscle tissue. They provide powerful medicine to the body but need to be approached with care. The following guidelines will help you get the most out of yoga twists providing great benefit without injury.
Place your pelvis in a neutral position to ensure your spine can lengthen during the twist
Twist evenly from the sacrum at the base of the spine upward
Inhale as you lift and lengthen the spine and twist only during exhalation
Move in a gentle, measured and even way no forcing, bouncing or straining
Keep your abdomen relaxed do not contract or grip with your abdominals
Release the twist slowly and gently no rapid movements or sudden release
