Seated Twist, in Sanskrit is Ardha Matsyendrasana– this seated twist can be modified for beginner yogis or deepen it for the seasoned yogis or the flexible practitioners. This posture increases the flexibility of the spine & range of motion; I call it a personal chiropractic adjustment. Each time one practices this pose it expands the chest and shoulders; strengthens abdominal oblique muscles; stretches the hip rotators & hips; massages internal and digestive organs. Practice on both sides, holding the pose for 5 -8 breaths on each side.
