Backache, along with stiffness across the shoulder girdle and through the neck will be relieved. The long muscles each side of the spine are made pliable, as are all the muscle fibres around the neck, shoulders and across the back. Twists squeeze the abdominal organs, so upon release, these vital organs receive freshly oxygenated blood, promoting healthy digestion. Twisting whilst seated on the chair does not require intense flexion at the knee joint, making this movement safe for the elderly and for those with a knee injury. Menstruating and pregnant women can take this twist with no risk of harm. For this movement you will need a sturdy chair. Begin by sitting sideways on the chair with your left side body facing the back bars of the chair. Have both thighs fully on the seat and your feet and knees together. With your gaze soft and steady, allow your inhalations and exhalations to be of even length and tone.Lift up from the base of your spine all the way to the crown of your head. Exhale; turn to face the back of the chair. Gently grip the side bar with your right hand, whilst placing your left palm against the other bar. You will now be turning to your left. Feel your feet stable against the ground and keep your knees in line with one and other, as you pull firmly with your right hand, to draw your right side body towards the chair, simultaneously pushing with your left palm to take your left side body around to the left, away from the chair. Turning your head to the left, lift your sternum, roll your shoulders back and descend your scapulas. Move your back ribs in; but be sure, that you contain your front ribs against this action. Endeavour to maintain even length through each side of your trunk and feel that the crown of your head is lifting skyward. Observe your breath. Is it still flowing smoothly?
