Unusual TWISTS and turns.

Spend some time building a structure -- a shed, a wall, a table, a house -- and you'll quickly see how important it is to connect things up crosswise for stability. If you just build UP without that kind of linkage, things are likely to fall down quickly.

Your body has a lot of that diagonal structure as well, between opposite limbs, from one shoulder to the opposite hip, etc.

It's easy to forget that if you're not challenging your body's ability to turn and twist, or even to resist forces that might turn or twist you around.

So, that's the focus for this week's flow -- lots of side body lengthening and strengthening, lots of turning from different positions to engage twists at different levels of your spine. You're likely to find an unusual amount of relief from tension that gathers in the outer hips, upper back and maybe even deep in the abdomen.

Join me for an INVIGORATING side body flow!
