Yoga Twists

[daisyduck520]

Hi Esther first thank you so much for all the great videos of yours! I appreciate it so much!

I wonder if there is any contraindication for twists? Can you even do them when having a disc problem in your spine (sorry I am German I hope this is right). I suppose you shouldnt do them while pregnant?

Thanks again :)

I really appreciate your videos.

How often should twists be done?

[yogatic]

@chrissykinsx As often as you like as long as it feels good.

[CardiganBabe]

very beautiful, i forgot how fun twists can be! thanks

Really enjoyed, I was surprised as twists aren't usually my favourite. Something a bit different to incorporate into my practise.

Thanks Esther.

Great videos. Well done.

Does anyone know what (wireless?) microphone and headset Ester uses? I've just been going through some of her videos again, including even an outdoor one and I was struck at how consistently good the audio quality is across many years! Of course, it helps that she has a such a clear, calming and even voice in the first place :)

@utubesqueeze We use an audio technica wireless mic and receiver

@yogatic Thank you!

Do this poses also work on making the stomach tighter/slimmer/ more narrow? I feel that I would like to have a more delineated waistline....

@shapeurmind Run, walk briskly, swim or cycle 30 minutes a day every day and you'll be losing inches in no time.

@Bassfully Good advice! :)

Thank you!!! Will add it to my daily practice.

[Hilushenka]

Great as always! Thank you Esther.

Really useful. I'm a skeptic of the toxin or specific therapeutic value, but I do know I find twists extremely relaxing and complement my end of day general stretching routine perfectly.

I've also never seen the twist and transition from 5:25 - I will try it today.

Favorited and thank you!

[kungfuzzzz]

@utubesqueeze Ditto on the claim about releasing the toxins. I'd like to see medical evidence on a lot of therapeutic claims for yogic postures.

As for the video, great job!

[RubberBiscuit]

Perfect timing for this one, too, now that it's getting cold here and my muscles need a little extra coaxing.

I have a question, though: When you go into the twist at 2:00, is your weight distibuted evenly between the hand and front foot? Or do you want to shift most of the weight to the foot? (I have that same question about side-angle pose in the other sequences, too.)

Thanks for your time and energy, Esther.

Another great pose for me to do it. Thanks Esther with love.
