Twisting Goodness Yoga

About this class

This is one of the older MerryBody classes. For higher quality sound and video select a newer class. This Yoga inspired MerryBody class is all about twisting out the body. Not only do twists keep our spine healthy but they detox the internal organs, wringing them out of toxins. Oh it feels GOOD! Even though at first this flow doesn’t seem as intense as others, the twists will work up a sweat and that’s amazing, this means the body is responding and transforming from the inside out.

Alignment notes

Try to follow the inhale/exhale cue to get the most out of your detoxifying twists. In your low and high lunge, your front knee is directly over the ankle, the knee tracks over the toes, try not to let the knee fall in or sway out. When you’re lying down, twisting the knee across the body, ensure your bent knee finds the Earth. You can help keep it pressed down with your opposite hand. If it doesn’t reach, place a blanket underneath the knee.
