Sivananda Yoga Sukasana Spinal Twist

Video Transcript

"Resa will be demonstrating a spinal twist in Sukasana. It's a lovely pose. It's very sweet and comfortable. So, sitting in Sukasana, bring your hands to your knees, take a nice inhale. As you exhale slowly twist to the right. Placing the left hand on the right thigh, the right hand behind her is in spider mudra. It prevents her from leaning on it hard. You do not want to lean on this back arm. You want to sit up nice and tall, spine nice and long, shoulders gently twisted. The twist is at the ribs. Beautiful. Take a nice inhale. Exhale, slowly unwind. Now to keep you balanced today we're going to go to both sides. Hands come to the knees, take a beautiful inhale. Exhale slowly, twisting to the left. Hand on the thigh, hand behind you in spider mudra, nice balanced shoulders. Gently look behind you, very gently. Perfect. Good. Inhale. Exhale, slowly unwinding. Both hands come down to the knees."
