Let’s twist again!
This week, we focus on the benefits of twists, in our gentle fitness and yoga classes.
Benefit #1: A flexible spine is a happy life. Your spine is the centre of all movement. When it’s flexible, mobile and moves well, so do you.
Benefit #2: Your intestines will love it. Giving a gentle squeeze to that long length of intestines helps them to release moisture and retake up moisture including nutrients. This is especially important when we age, as our intestines become less motile, and therefore move less. Exogenous movement, moves our intestines for us.
Benefit #3: Increased circulation around your organs. Most of our organs are here. Think of how much benefit the extra blood to the kidneys, liver, pancreas, etc. would benefit them.
Benefit #4: Breathing better. There are small muscles between your ribs that need to remain toned and flexible to allow for better breathing. This plus your diaphragm, are complementary in keeping your breathing strong and big.
Join me in class this week at our local community centers, my private studio, or online.
