Utthita Parsvakonasana-Extended Side Angle Pose
This simple standing pose is basic but important to learn. The standing poses aid us in establishing a firm foundation of strong legs and feet.
Our upright structure is vital as the brain must be supported and held in correct alignment as it is the seat of our intelligence.
The standing poses bring flexibility first, then strength and steadiness.
Utthita Parsvakonasana is shown here with many variations to demonstrate:
-Releasing the hips downward with chair support for a holding longer.
-Deeper imprint can be established with support
-Chair/bar support to get opening across the chest and rotation
-Establishing alignment that supports the bone connections and the correct actions
You will need a wall, a chair, a block, and a longer strap for this class. If you don’t have a long strap, connecting two straps together will work just fine.
