Transcript

namaste friends I am Ritesh and today our topic is revolved side angle pose also known as Parivrtta Parsvakonasana friends it's a complex pose which challenges your balance and
flexibility in the hamstrings in the hips in the spine in the shoulders and
neck friends it is very important in this pose to keep your heel on the floor if
you are focusing on a classical pose so we will be doing different variations
for different type of people to get understand how we can do it so friends
it's an intermediate level standing forward bend
and at the same time it's a deep detoxifying twist friends if we have any
injury at the back at the spine at the shoulder please avoid it and especially
if you have any injury in the neck region because we are twisting so just
be careful or it's always better to have a guidance of a professional yoga
teacher or a medical supervisor friends let's get into the pose but before we
get into the pose don't forget to add some of the warm-ups or some of the
preparatory poses so side angle pose would be great or low lunge or a
high lunge or something like a tree pose or a Prasaritta that is a wide leg
forward bend would be great or a side angle pose because a side angle pose
depicts the same so now when you are focusing on a basically getting into the
revolved side angle pose let's first cut down into two steps
first is the foundation and the second is the twist where the palm comes where
the twisting happens lot of things to understand so let's get into the pose so
friends there are two variations to get into the pose let's get into the first
one okay so I stand in Tadasana I tall myself okay my chin is parallel my shoulders are down
so all the alignment of Tadasana comes here now from here I take my right leg
to the 45 degree angle straighten my the left leg 45 degrees angles and the right leg to a large going forward now from here lift the back heel up now lifting
the back heel up keep your hips square in front tall yourself
now take the arms in Namaskar Mudra press the palms open the chest keep that
back leg more active okay inhale exhale so what we need is Twist
first okay so inhale exhale inhale exhale so place the elbow on the knee but keep the
back leg active press it open the chest keep the knee ankle in one line check
check check and breathe you can twist a little bit
more up but it's fine to keep it in front breathe in and breathe out keep
your back leg active inhale come up and that's the way you get into the first
variation of going very slowly and gently now let us get into a second
variation of from a downward facing dog so I be here
downward facing dog I activate stretch give a nice warm up
lengthen put the knees on the floor now from here I take okay let's try to the
other side I did with the right so let's do it with the left also
so I'm also balanced okay so hips are square tall yourself give nice stretch to
your basically your cords and just lengthen it okay and just give a twist so add up your in the preparations don't forget to add the twist okay now from
here once again in Namaskar mudra inhale exhale so I am giving a twist okay
and exhale so inhale exhale inhale exhale now from here twist okay set the abdomen in engage the core now tuck your toes under lift up back leg active open
the chest and breathe inhale and exhale inhale and exhale so we don't need
loosening we need active in the back leg so activate it tall yourself
heels are active arches are active of the back feet and breathe shoulders are down and put the knees on the floor gently and put your hands up now that was you can say a little bit
of simple version now let's try the other one on so for here I use a block
so I take a block now it depends so once again lunge position I tall
myself now from here I lengthen the back leg activate it I need the back straight
neck long now inhale exhale and now from here push this in lock it
hold it there back leg active and from here you can take the arms back twist
look in that position that's completely fine and maintain so you can take the
arms here in twist that is you can put the arms here also for a little bit of
easy you want to challenge yourself you can put the arms here and give a twist
so before doing that don't forget to keep it the knees on the floor and
try to give a twist and then later on you can lift the knees up so friends do it
very slowly and steadily it's a deep detoxifying twist just go slowly
use blocks you props whenever you wish now in
the classical version the heel is on the floor so now let's focus on the
classical version now what happens in the classical version if you remember
the heel is aligned with the arches and that's your Parsvakonasana okay or
the side angle pose or that's the pose fine depends upon person's flexibility
but here in the classical version we always wanted the heel to be on the floor so now let's get into it now from here take it lift the arms up lengthen it take it
down then Bend the knees straighten it and twist pull that back heel on the floor
shoulders are down widen it out and maintain breathe come back now in this position
the problem is friends I get a lot of strain on my knee and I am not
comfortable with it so definitely I avoid doing that pose
but yes if you are comfortable at the knee at the hip specially at the groin
please go ahead and do the pose so you have three variations of getting into
the moves friends this pose is great to strengthen
and stretch your legs your groin it opens the chest and shoulders it also
stimulates and tones the abdominal organs and lungs at the same time it improves your
digestion elimination and metabolism also so friends you need to practice
this pose although it's quite challenging it improves your balance
