We work in the series to increase the full mobility of the spine. We stretch forward, backwards and to the side. We end with the twist.
BENEFITS:
- Compresses and stretches the spine
- Increases hop and back flexibility
- Improves digestion
- Firms the buttocks, thighs and abdomen
- Improves elasticity, flexibility, circulation and nutrition through spinal nerves and tissues
- Encourages the free movement of synovial (joint) fluid through the spine
- Decreases immobility caused be rheumatism
- Tones the roots of the spinal nerves, thus aiding the sympathetic nervous system
- Opens bronchial muscles and rib cage
- Helps prevent slipped disc
- Relieves lower back pain
- Helps sciatica and arthritis of the knee
- Massages kidneys, liver, gall bladder, spleen and bowels
TIPS:
- Go slowly into this posture
- If the posture is done quickly the muscles in the spine that are already flexible will twist
- Moving slowly will open the tight areas
- Keep both sides of the buttocks on the floor
- Bring more weight into the legs and out of the spine, the straighter the spine, the more it will open with a twist
