Dear Bernie, I discovered your website three weeks ago. I signed up for a yoga class, started researching yin yoga (one of the yoga styles offered at the studio, and one that I wasn't familiar with) and found your extremely valuable website.

Remember your intention! Why did you ask them to twist? What sensations were you trying to create for them? Knowing that, check to see if twisting one way works better or worse than the other way. For some people it does make a difference. For other people it does not. I would agree with your idea o...

I would say, yes ... it is not only safe, it is necessary! The following is an excerpt from my book YinSights that talks to this topic. ...
