Twist Series - All Levels

Unlock your spine and expand your lungs with twists and bounds. Twists and bounds squeeze your torso in different ways. Maintaining long and deep breaths under such situations train your breathing muscles. These Yoga poses also stretch the muscles around the lungs, which create space for the lungs inside the rib cage to expand more and therefore increase capacity. BREATH!

Take the Bound to a new level: Do it in a balancing Yoga pose: Bird Of Paradise and Bounded Half Moon. This is a complex Yoga pose, take all the time you need. Pause the video and try it again as many times as you want. Notice your pose today, we definitely going to do this again.

Take the Bound to a completely new level: Bound, Twist, and Balance at the same time! How crazy is that? Apparently, people call it Bird Of Hell, the twisted variation of Bird Of Paradise. Squeezing your torso even more. Can you still keep your deep breath through all these twists and bound?

Care to your Spine with Side Bend, Twists, and Backbend Move your Spine in all its joint actions in a gentle way through Flexion, Lateral Flexion (Side Bend), Extension (Backbend), and Rotation (Twist)

The bounding skill has led us to so many fantastic Yoga poses, and let's try this variation of Standing Split now! This Bounded Standing Split pose is also called Super Warrior.

Feel how smooth your spine moves in this flow. When we want to get deeper in a backbend, we don't just do backbend again and again but we also find more range of movement in other joint actions: side bend, twist, and forward bend.

When you put a Compass Pose on a Chair Pose. A lot of side bend and twist in this variation of Chair pose. This is a very hard move in Yoga, so consider: Bending your knee Using strap to start with. If you can lift your leg from the floor and put your knee on your shoulder, that's a great success already!

Taking the Bound to a new level by flowing through Yoga poses bounding yourself. Familiar poses: Bounded Half Moon, Bounded Twisted Half Moon, Bird of Paradise, Bird of Hell, and Eagle Pose with the Bound. Use a strap because the Twisted Bound is harder. And also even if you can touch your hands on the floor, it's harder to keep bounding in Bird Of Hell.

Meet the Ultimate Warrior Pose: Flying Warrior Visvamitrasana is a very hard Yoga pose that requires Balance in one arm like in Side Plank (Vasisthasana) Splitting legs Leg on the shoulder Twist and side bend like in Compass Pose This pose is very, very hard. You will imagine yourself getting into this pose and believe that what you have in your mind, you will have in real life. Visvamitra is a King in Indian mythology who is very proud, very aggressive, and victorious - the Flying Warrior. He and his army have never been defeated. Until one day, he comes to visit Vasistha the sage and gets defeated by an army that comes from Vasistha's cow. Furious, he wants to become a Sage himself. Unlike Vasistha who is so simple, Visvamitra finds it so hard to practice because he is such a complicated personality full of pride and anger. Eventually, after so many years, he became a Sage and his name is for this complicated and energetic Yoga pose. Vasisthasana is a Yoga pose named after Vasistha. It's the Side Plank pose. Simple and straightforward. Just like Visvamitra will not become a Sage without meeting Vasistha, you can not do Visvamitrasana without doing Side Plank.
