EXPORING TWISTS

Give your New Year’s resolution a yogic twist by resolving to evolve in this Sunday’s Iyengar inspired yoga workshop. Make a Sankalpa (intention) in this session to infuse positive change for 2019.

Join me on the mat at 9.30 am at The Share Centre to journey through an exploration of detoxifying twists to help  restore the spine’s natural range of motion, stimulate the circulation and cleanse your organs.

Twists have an abundance of benefits and can be done lying down, sitting or standing.

Here are my top five:

1. IMPROVE DIGESTIVE FUNCTION

When you’re in a twist you are essentially compressing your digestive organs.  This will cause a lack of circulation so when you release there will be a rush of fresh blood that will flood your digestive organs bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients promoting detoxification.

2. CALM THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Twist are calming postures and help to reduce stress and release tension

3. ENERGISE

Through twisting we lengthen the spine and create space between the bones enabling our energy to flow better.  Twists can give us an instant energy boost and decompress the vertebrae in a safe healthy way.

4. MAINTAIN NORMAL SPINAL FUNCTION

Practising twists helps to keep the muscles around the spine mobile and supple.  Twists help to elongate the spine which is essential particularly in this day and age when most of us find ourselves slumped over a computer or Ipad.

5. INCREASES IMMUNE SYSTEM

Twisting the spine stimulates the circulatory, nervous and endocrine systems which all have an essential role to play in the immune system.

Come and find out for yourself and enjoy the amazing benefits this Sunday at The Share Centre  9.30-10.45 am. Plenty of free parking around the cathedral.  Please contact me to book a place on 07712 274 064 / [email protected]
