5 Benefits Of Practicing Supine Twist 

Practicing supine twist can be helpful in many ways. Here’s how:

  1. Releases Your Lower Back. This pose helps in releasing the lower back of your body. As it is, the lower back section of the human body is tight, which leads to the onset of physical problems.
  2. Helps Loosen Stiff Shoulders. Trying supine twist helps in opening up stiffened shoulders. People working at desk jobs end up with tightened shoulders often. This pose can give them lasting relief.
  3. Elongates Supporting Muscles Alongside Spine. When you do this pose, the muscles alongside your spine get stretched. When you drop knees sidewise and press the opposing shoulder to the floor, it results in the traction generation for your spine.
  4. Enhances The Digestion Process. Along with eating fiber-rich foods, you can also improve digestion by trying specific yoga poses. The supine twist is one notable instance. This posture helps expel waste material from the digestive tract and speeds up the bowel movements. By being in the pose for a long period, you can boost the digestion process in your body.
  5. Calms Your Mind. Apart from pain reduction, this pose helps in calming down your mind. It lets you fine-tune breathing and gain control of it in the long run. The pose does not tire your muscles much, and you can use slow breathing to calm the mind.

While performing supine twist is beneficial for any individual, a few precautions should be taken.

  • Women who are pregnant should not perform this pose. When you lie facing the roof, the baby’s weight is on the veins and arteries. It results in reduced blood flow from the heart. In pregnancy, reduction in blood flow results in reduced blood pressure, which is not healthy. Stretching the hips beyond a limit when you are pregnant can be risky as well.
  • While supine twist stretches your back muscles and shoulder regions, you should evade doing the pose when you have a hip or back injury.
