Threading the Needle Yoga is a restorative posture that blends a gentle spinal twist with a deep shoulder stretch, offering physical release and mental relaxation. The pose involves sliding one arm under the torso, allowing the shoulder and side of the face to rest on the floor. This movement relieves stiffness in the shoulders, upper back, and neck while encouraging better posture and flexibility. Practicing Threading the Needle Yoga also calms the nervous system, making it an excellent choice for stress relief, mindfulness, and emotional balance. Suitable for all levels, it can be held for several breaths to deepen the stretch or supported with props for a more restorative experience. Simple yet effective, this pose is a valuable addition to any yoga practice.
