Backbends are an essential category of yoga poses that open up the chest and heart region, including activating the Anahata Chakra (heart center), while improving strength and flexibility.
Twisting yoga poses squeeze the abdominal muscles, massage the organs and help reduce fat from the waist, while also calming the nervous system, releasing stress and opening up the chest region.
Yoga is an effective practice to massage the abdominal organs, ease stomach pain, encourage better digestion and removal of waste.
Vakrasana, known as the easy spinal twist, makes the spine flexible, removes excess fat from the waist and is an easy-to-do beginner asana.
