The best image i know of why we do twists in Yoga is the image of a wet towel that you wring and squeeze so that the water pours out of it. When we twist we apply pressure on the organs, and when we untwist we release them from that pressure. So the fluid and nutrient exchange that takes place anyway is enhance, boosted by the physical twisting. ** because of this reason exactly, this is considered not suitable for pregnant women. **
