Twisted Roots Pose

The Twisted Roots Pose is a deep, restorative yoga posture that helps to release tension in the spine, stretch the hips, and improve flexibility. It is a great pose for spinal mobility and relaxation.

How to Perform Twisted Roots Pose:

• Starting Position: Lie on your back with your arms extended out in a T-shape.
• Cross Legs: Cross your right leg over your left thigh, as if sitting cross-legged.
• Twist: Gently drop your knees to the left side, keeping your shoulders grounded. Look to the right for a deeper twist.
• Hold: Breathe deeply and hold the pose for 5-10 breaths before switching sides.

Dos:

• Keep both shoulders grounded during the twist.
• Breathe deeply to deepen the stretch gradually.
• Use a pillow or bolster under your knees if needed for support.

Don'ts:

• Avoid forcing the twist; let it happen naturally.
• Don’t lift your shoulders off the ground.
• If you feel pain, stop and return to a neutral position.
