Yoga Twists

Twists rotate the spine around its own axis, seated, standing, lying down or on your hands. Lengthen first on an inhale, turn on an exhale, and turn from the middle of the back rather than cranking the neck. Teachers commonly modify deep twists in pregnancy and for recent back injuries.
