What are the benefits of yoga twists?

People living in big cities usually have a fast pace of life, and their brains have to work at a high load. If this continues for a long time, they will feel physically and mentally exhausted, and their hearts will easily become impetuous. At this time, people's sense of happiness will be greatly reduced. In order to solve this problem, you can learn to do yoga. Yoga is a relatively quiet sport. There are many yoga movements, including yoga twisting poses. This yoga movement has the following benefits.

Benefits of yoga twisting poses:

The body's main detoxification organs are the liver and lymphatic system, and their function is to excrete toxins from the body.

When twisting, especially deep twisting, the abdomen is squeezed, the liver is squeezed, and the blood flow in and around the liver is very slow.

When released from the twist, the blood will flow faster and in greater volume, flushing away toxins and impurities. Not just the liver, but other abdominal organs as well. A large amount of fresh blood flowing quickly will help these organs metabolize.

Will it really turn around?

Twisting poses allow you to deeply feel the movement of your spine—rotating, twisting, squeezing, and stretching—relaxing all the tissues along the midline of the body.

The question is whether the twist is from top to bottom or from bottom to top.

When twisting, you should start with your abdomen first, then transition to your torso and finally your neck. Twisting from the abdomen first can connect the thorax with the upper end of the pelvis. The ribs will not forcefully move vertically inward toward the abdomen, nor will the ribs turn outward due to stretching of the body.

The oblique abdominal muscles are in the primary position of rotation in the connection between the ribs and the pelvis. The transverse abdominal muscle has the function of supporting the spine, especially when the body is weak or over-stretched and the ribs are turned outward, the transverse abdominal muscle will quickly participate in the support. This helps prevent collapse of the spine.

First of all, you need to keep the foundation stable and in the right position. The straightened leg should actively press the ground and not let it relax. Focus your attention on the pelvic area, with the two sitting bones in a straight line. Keep the pelvis centered. Only a centered pelvis can bring about extension and twisting of the upper body.

The bent leg can also be moved to the outside of the other leg. Of course, this is related to the flexibility of the body. Moving it over will deepen the pose and make the stretching feeling stronger.

Hold the outside of the legs with your hands and pull them towards the chest. There are actually two different options here. One is to relax the legs, and the other is to add resistance between the legs and hands. Both methods are very good and you can experience them freely.

The spine should be extended upward, and the body should not be tilted, especially the lower back which is prone to bulging backwards. The twisting should be based on the physiological curvature of the spine.
