Pose 10: Reclined Twist (Jathara Parivartanasana)
Physically, what’s it good for?
- Lengthens, extends and rotates the mid part of the spine – the Thoracic Spine.
- Takes us out of the forward and rounded position we can fall into during the day at a desk!
- Builds lung capacity.
Reclined twist can be a deeper and progressive twist from our Seated Twist on Day 6 of the ’12 Poses of Christmas’. Lovely at the end of a busy day following Cat/Cow Pose (Day 7). is an excellent pose to address the restricted and dysfunctional areas that can develop after a day spent looking after kids or bent over a computer, or shopping! Once in position, stay there for 6 deep breaths. Have a go both sides and let me know what you think. Find more videos on my YouTube channel, Performance Yoga.
