- Lengthens, extends and rotates the mid part of the spine – the Thoracic Spine.

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.
