Twisting poses can help in detoxifying the body by stimulating the organs and supporting digestion. Symbolically, twists can also be seen as a way to release and let go of what no longer serves us, emotionally and mentally. These poses create space for new energy and experiences. Core muscle activation also provides an inner massage effect, heightening body awareness and vitality.
Twisting poses that can help support detoxification:
Bharadvaja's Twist
Supine Twist
Revolved Side Angle Pose
Revolved Triangle Pose
Downward Facing Dog
Revolved Crescent Lunge
Revolved Chair Pose
Reclining Twist
Revolved Child's Pose
Note: Twisting poses in yoga offer many benefits and can contribute to overall well-being. However, there is no scientific research that proves twisting asanas alone enhances liver and lymphatic system function. Your body's liver and lymphatic system naturally detoxify by eliminating toxins, regardless of specific yoga poses. While twisting poses can help, they should not be solely relied on for liver and lymphatic detoxification.
