Focus

This class offers a focused exploration of standing twists, featuring key poses such as Parivrtta Trikonasana and Parivrtta Parsvakonasana, along with preparatory variations and complementary poses. It provides a therapeutic approach to spinal mobility, releasing stiffness in the thoracic spine and enhancing flexibility in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the lower back. Ideal as a standalone practice to relieve back tension or as a prelude to seated twists, this sequence allows for deep engagement with twisting movements from a standing position. Practicing these poses in isolation enables deeper penetration, helping to bypass stiffness in larger muscle groups and improve access to the spine’s natural mobility.
