Your Twists Are Missing This

Your Twists Are Missing This

Most yoga twists are done to the spine — not with it.

In nearly every conventional yoga twist, the arms and legs do the work: The hand presses against the knee. The elbow hooks outside the thigh. The leverage of the limbs produces the rotation, while the spinal muscles — the obliques, the multifidus, the deep rotators — remain largely passive. The spine is being twisted. It is not doing the twisting.

I turn this on its head in this week’s solocast. In 15 minutes, you’ll transform the quality and depth of three yoga-informed spinal rotation exercises by adding resistance bands.

This is not just about better twists. It's about building functional rotational strength that yoga's conventional twisting patterns cannot provide.
