REVOLVED CHAIR POSE | PARIVRTTA UTKATASANA
Christmas and New Year's got us good, so let's work it off with Revolved Chair as our Pose of the Month. This pose strengthens and grounds your legs and hips, brings length to your spine, aids digestion, opens your shoulders and expands your chest. When you twist one hip will naturally move forward, so without forcing see if you can draw it back.
Try out these variations:
- One hand on top of thigh and the other back of sacrum
- Hands in prayer with elbows outside of knee
- Extending arms with bottom hand reaching to ground and top arm to sky
- Reaching top arm overhead for a side body stretch
- Pick up opposite foot to test your balance
- Bind arms around the inside leg and try to transition into Bird of Paradise
- Bind legs like eagle pose PLUS bind arms over the top leg for a serious pretzel shape!
