Key Poses

Parsvottanasana.

Focus

Learn parsvottanasana nine ways. In a home yoga practice we do not always need a complicated sequence of different poses to reach all of the different regions of the body. A simple standing pose like parsvottanasana can be approached in such a way that it can be beneficial for multiple body regions. With this in mind this sequence is based around a variety of parsvottanasana adaptations. Some of them will target your calves. Others will lengthen your hamstrings. Your upper back and neck will benefit from some of the variations, and a number of shoulder opening actions can be derived from the pose. This class gives you the opportunity to go deeper into parsvottanasana.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback Silvana! Glad you enjoyed the class. I hope you are keeping safe and well over in Argentina. Best wishes from Australia.

  2. I really enjoyed exploring these different approaches to parsvottanasana. Having the blocks at different heights really made a difference. I am working with some tendinopathy in my shoulders and I try to switch from your shoulder series to other courses and while reverse prayer pose is definitely not available to me, I found this series beneficial.
