Iyengar Yoga Twists: Standing, Chair & Seated – Weekly Advanced Class 406

This class features a comprehensive selection of Iyengar Yoga twists. It explores the full spectrum of twisting asanas, beginning with a foundational standing variation of Marichyasana III. Basic actions are established in this preparatory variation to set the foundations for the more advanced twists that follow. Techniques for lengthening the spine prior to twisting are explored and then developed in chair-supported variations of the three key Parivrtta standing twists. The sequence then covers essential seated twists – Bharadvajasana, the classical seated Marichyasana III, and Ardha Matsyendrasana. The class deepens understanding of the twisting asana group and offers therapeutic benefits for the spine and posture. It can be practised as a stand-alone class or in conjunction with other videos from the library.
