Holistic, Anatomilcal benefits and therapeutic applications of Spine twists Asanas As indicated by Rama Jyoti Vernon of the The American Yoga College, “Twisting poses symbolize rovolving the front body, or what is conscious, to the back body, the subconscious, they bring light into darkness and the dark into light, a process essential to yoga.” (EP Notes Asana Lab 4, April 2014) Hollistic This to me implies that twisting poses is highly beneficial for our mind to create more awareness in areas of our body that we don’t normally pay attention to. This process of twisting essentially can enhance our conciousness with respect to the physiology of our body and its surroundings. Spine twist is deeply healing not only in a physiological sense but when viewed hollistically in the perspective of our Kundalini energy, where our Nadis, our energy channel, in particularly the Nadis at the navel centre are further enhanced when in this posture, igniting agnis, the digestive fire, which helps improve the digestive system. Anatomical The idea that our spine is a self supporting structure, capable of remaining without the help of its surrounding muscles, indicate that twists helps create energy in the spine which result in relinquishing (relaxing) control of the surrounding muscles. This will further strengthen the spine, massages its surrounding muscles which will then reduce its obstruction to spinal alignment.
