Wraparound Twist

When the spine is stiff, the nervous system sends signals through the body, limiting movement to avoid injury. Therefore, when improving back mobility, it is important to start slowly to prevent injury and avoid structural imbalances. These techniques will gently awaken your spine, while reducing stress and tension in the back muscles.

Practice Guidelines

Before starting your yoga asana practice, please read the Practice Guidelines for helpful tips.
