Why are so important lateral flexion positions in your Yoga practice?

Just as the structure of our bodies is determined by the spine and its health, much of the Yoga postures are designed to encourage or develop activity throughout its journey.

If we become aware that the spine is the axis of health and serenity we can establish the importance of the work of mobilizing each vertebra and each area of ​​the spine in the structure of a Yoga session.

It is important to emphasize that each zone, naturally, allows different degrees of mobility and that is why there are also different positions that emphasize the lateral flexion of a specific part of the spine.

All the positions of lateral flexion have the characteristic of being able to be practiced towards both sides, reason why the incidence on the spine doubles.

From a position it is possible to laterally flex the spine without losing sight of the original posture and giving the body the possibility of modifying postural traumas, stretching muscles that would otherwise never stretch and working in the depths of the organic structures.

This concept is deeply rooted in therapeutic Yoga and is, perhaps, one of its main pillars in the face of recovering the correct posture,
alignment and healing of the spine.
