Upavistha Konasana & Variations – Weekly Advanced Class 222

This class features upavistha konasana and its variations parsva upavistha konasana and parivrtta upavistha konasana. Adaptations of trikonasana and parighasana are also included to help introduce and isolate key actions involved in each pose. Practiced together, this set of asanas incorporate elements of both forward bends and twists. In addition to improving hamstring and adductor mobility the upavistha konasana variations also incorporate back releasing twists that will target hard to reach areas like your latissimus dorsi and quadratus lumborum. Whilst correcting spinal imbalances these poses can bring an energetic boost to a session of forward bends and seated twists.
