Twisted yoga poses have lots of benefits. This is good to know because some poses are downright uncomfortable! Now, whenever I feel like bailing out of a pose, I try to think about how good my body and mind will feel after.
Half Twist Pose:
This one challenges my bad posture. I have to work hard to hold a straight back and open shoulders. It's good for your chest, spine and back. It strengthens core muscles and encourages internal organ activity.
Thread the Needle (Revolved Child's Pose):
One of my favorites because it just feels good. Good for upper chest, opens shoulder muscles, and gets blood flowing to upper body.
Revolved Lunge Pose:
There is so much going on in this pose that it feels good when I hit it. The lunge part of the pose both strengthens the quad and stretches the hip flexors. Adding in the twist engages the core for balance and stimulates those internal organs. I also feel a good stretch in my upper body because I have tight shoulders.
One of the best ways to celebrate a good yoga session? Go on a sunshine walk.
Morning walks are just so much better with skies like this.
What is your favorite/least favorite twisted yoga pose?
