Overview
In this lesson, we introduce axial exercises for spine rotation that build active rotational strength.
Objective
Become familiar with how to strengthen the muscles that create and control spinal rotation.
What You'll Get
What You'll Get: These exercises train your spine to actively rotate under load, building the strength that makes twisting movements powerful and controlled rather than passive and precarious. In your practice, this translates to twists that come from deep spinal muscles rather than levering with your arms. For teachers and trainers, axials give you scalable progressions for developing rotational strength in clients at any level, from basic postural control to advanced yoga transitions.
