„To turn around“ „revolved“

Nothing stands still, our planet, the whole universe is spinning, rotation is a natural movement of energy and matter, even we spin our own axis in twists.

A mobile spine is a foundation for a healthy life. Twists primarily affect our axis by maintaining the range of motion in and around the spine.
A mobile spine is a delicious fountain of youth. The back muscles are strengthened and stretched. The organs are flexed and squeezed and a digestive and detoxifying effect is achieved. Shoulders and the chest are opened, areas of the body that tend to manifest stress in the form of tension and tightness.
Through rotation, the tensions stored in these areas are significantly relieved. By creating space between the vertebrae and decompressing the spine, the twists ensure the health of the spinal nerves and support the nervous system to function effectively.

We feel vitalized and energized.
„Inhale: stretch; exhale: twist“.

For an even deeper effect on the nervous system, twists combined with a slow, rhythmic breath calm the body and mind.
The breath-based restorative twists while lying down are especially helpful in this stressful time to slow down. They are often the initiation to deep relaxation and renewal of our whole system.
