Twisting is an important series of asanas for spinal health. It has a strong influence on the abdominal muscles, stimulates the spinal nerves, making spine more flexible and exercising muscles. Yoga twists involve the spine and as well several major joints. During twist organs are compressed and when release the twist, fresh blood into the cells. this is carring oxygen and building our body tissues. Twists stimulate circulate and have a cleansing and refreshing effect on organs.
Yoga twists should be practised after a series of forward and backward bending asanas. Also is good to use twists for opening your muscles and joints during the warm-up. I am using for one hour class approx 2-4 twists, depending on a students. 1 twist at least at the beginning and 1 twist asana during laying down on the back.
Twist what I am using during warm-up is called Marchi´s Pose. Sitting your legs in front of you, bend your right leg and raise your both hand over your head, while inheal. While exheal turn your right hand around your right leg and your left hand around your body, try to crasp your hand behinh your back and try to keep your head and chest straight, see in front of you and try to keep your body relaxed.
I have noticed that yoga twists are helping people to releas their certine pain, like back or neck pain, because the movement is unusual from our everyday movements. Also our digestive system is getting exercise which will help organs to work more properly and digest our food quicker.
