Most seated twist poses are in fact seated spinal twists. Seated twist poses are often referred as the easy poses in yoga. In these poses, a twist is performed in the seated position. However, not all seated twist poses are easy to perform, requiring strict supervision. Practicing these poses regularly at an early age builds resistance in the body against problems like sciatica and slipped disc. Seated spinal twist poses also help in preventing various spine and hip related ailments.
