Welcome back to our ongoing series dedicated to living your yoga! This series explores yoga as a lifestyle through a dose of my four favorite twists coupled with four muses on the guidelines of yoga. All of our everyday activities — work, relationships, play — can be yoga when practiced mindfully. Yoga is a conscious effort to ensure that our thoughts, words and actions contribute positively to others. Sound noble and doable? Great, now let’s do some twisting.
Today’s pose is a seated twist — probably the most popular of twist poses in this series as you’ll come across it in most yoga classes. This pose should be avoided on a full stomach — especially post-pasta. Trust me on that one! As you’ve probably experienced, twists do amazing things for the body. They wring out toxins and random tweaks in your lower back, they lengthen the spine and they feel quite yummy.
