Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose) – Weekly Advanced Class 297

Parsvakonasana. This 20 minute class is specially designed for experienced students who are already acquainted with this key standing pose. It offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding and learn new perspectives on a familiar pose. We begin by optimising the fundamental aspects of alignment, ensuring a solid foundation. From there, we delve into techniques that focus on improving the rotation of your upper torso while maintaining a solid base. Additional variations are included that gently open your shoulders and enhance your ability to extend your top arm, allowing for a greater sense of freedom and expansion. The class also incorporates wall-based variations of parsvakonasana. These modifications provide maximum support and allow you to explore the pose more profoundly, unlocking its full potential.
