Twisting squeezes and wrings out the internal organs. As we come out of the twist and the organs return to their original position, fresh blood rushes through them flushing out wastes and purifying them. Twisting is a powerful way to detoxify the organs and glands and therefore boosts the health of the whole body.
Twisting is also a great practice to massage and tone the entire visceral system. It also brings better circulation to spinal muscles and disks. In addition musculature and fascia around the waist and rib age are freed up, allowing greater mobility for the lungs and diaphragm and therefore improving breathing.
Let’s flow through a dynamic and fun twisting sequence together to experience all these benefits.

About Carmen
I am Carmen. I come from Spain and have been living in Shanghai since summer 2012 with my husband and our four children. I encountered yoga many years ago in the UK and years later in Mumbai (India) but I just thought it wasn't for me; it wasn't until I moved to Shanghai that my true love for yoga started.
I had had a knee injury that stopped me from running and I was feeling the stress of arriving in a big city and making a new start. I started practising yoga and I never looked back. I have since completed four teacher training courses and have not stopped learning.
In very simple words yoga makes me happy. The asana practice makes me feel full of life and the yoga philosophy and meditation help me to re-connect with the best version of myself, with all human beings and with universal love.
My favourite style of yoga is vinyasa (flow), I love the pace, the movement and the challenge of keeping up with it all. I enjoy the endless possibilities of sequencing a vinyasa class. In my vinyasa classes I try to teach what yoga has thought me, to be ok with uncertainty, not knowing what pose is going to come next, to feel grounded and peaceful as you use the anchoring power of the breath, to feel a sense of play as you stretch and flow into positions that you didn't think possible, to feel your body becoming lighter and softer as you strength and flexibility improve, and to feel the mental toughness and awareness that the practice as a whole brings you.
I came to yoga as a pure physical practice but very quickly it filled all aspects of my life, making me more mindful, more accepting of myself and others, more peaceful and joyful. I teach yoga to share these benefits with the people around me.
