Yoga Challenge Day 3: Seated Spinal Twist

The visualization used in this pose is incredibly powerful - imagine wringing out the organs and releasing pockets of stagnant energy. Your insides are like a washcloth, as you wring out toxins and waste, and make room for fresh, light-filled energy and oxygen. Once this pose is complete, you will feel a bit taller, a bit fresher, and a bit more flexible.

Variations of this can be done throughout the day, sitting on a chair or in the car, a gentle twist coupled with deep breathing is a tiny little pop of energy that keeps you moving forward, taller and stronger!

I used this twist in class today & afterward a brand new student told me she had been having colon spasms & said she already felt relief. Instant detoxification! thank you for another great pose. I love that you are creating a class for us by stringing all of the poses together!!!!!!!!!

Great video! Might be nice to cue the bandhas as a means to get more lift in spine.

Brand new pose for me. I want more! I wish each day had the precious days first and hen the new pose. I know I can go back myself but it breaks the yoga moment. See you tomorrow.

One of my most profound realizations about yoga and purifying the body on the way to spiritual purification and alignment is touched upon in this video.

I heard that if you were only to do one pose a day, a twist is the smartest one to do, as it encourages detoxification of the organs, flexibility of the spine, and a strong connection to the earth.

Thanks again. I actually felt energized after I did this pose and got some work done.

Thanks for another great guidance and gentle nudge to our students to include variations of spinal twist thru-out their day. After lengthening spine, I like to use the metaphor " Head Follows Heart" to begin twist by moving from the upper back/heart area.
