Twists are an essential part of any yoga practice and that is no surprises, since twists are so good for us in so many ways. From relieving stress, to aiding in digestion, to helping with range of motion, incorporating twists into our movement practices is one of the healthiest things we can do for ourselves. This chair yoga class also incorporates shoulder awareness and several poses which open the shoulders, which helps us to get deeper into our twists without straining the shoulders.
