Sometimes we need to relax the muscles to go deeper into a pose (…or use some momentum!) and practicing Parsvottanasana is a perfect example of how, and why, to do that.
In this tutorial, we’re showing you how to do PARSVOTTANASANA / INTENSE SIDE STRETCH POSE from Ashtanga Yoga’s Fundamental Sequence with the traditional vinyasa cues, Sanskrit counts, and coordinates for this pose. You’ll also learn variations to help you access this pose with more ease, cultivate more stability with different foot positions, and create more space for the arms (especially if your palms don’t quite touch yet!). We’ll share tips to guide you in finding proper alignment so you can avoid common mistakes and prevent injury to areas such as the knees and shoulders.
