(Beginners & All levels) Here we continue the journey into the basic postures. We move into the seated forward bend (Paschimottanasana) and the basic seated twist (ardha matsyendrasana). Forward folding is complementary to back bending. The forward fold is great for calming the mind and it reduces vata (wind) and tones the kidneys. Make sure to let your heart is lift and spine lengthens in this pose. Twisting tones all the organs and central nervous system. Practice regularly and it will bring much balance to your internal alignments. Allow yourself to keep your heart lifted and open from the hip in your seated twisting. Breathe deep and slow.
