Twists are one of the most debated and controversial topics in yoga. Are they beneficial or harmful? Should you include them in your daily routine? In this video lesson, Vyacheslav Gutsalyuk helps to understand the biomechanics of these movements in detail, ensuring your practice brings only benefits.

The main secret of safety lies in the difference between a "twist" and a "turn." Twisting using an external lever and passive flexibility can often lead to injury. In contrast, a conscious turn based on active flexibility and the engagement of oblique abdominal muscles becomes a powerful tool for health.

In this video lesson:

• Deep theory: why there is a "gulf" between a turn and a twist, and how it affects your spine.
• The foundation of safety: mastering spinal stretching techniques using gravity and anchor points.
• Safe mobility: how to decompress intervertebral space and major joints (hips, shoulders, knees) without the risk of overstretching.
• A universal approach: principles applicable not only to Hatha yoga but also to fitness, Pilates, or morning exercises.

You will learn to use breathing to create internal space and align the spinal column as effectively as possible. This lesson will transform controversial exercises into a safe way to maintain back health and overall body mobility.
