Parivrtta Parsvakonasana, revolved side angle. We're going to begin with an inhaled step
your left foot back, coming into a high lunge, we're going to lunge forward. As we pause
right here, I want you to take the right femur, and push it back into the right hip, so the
hips are squarely forward. With an inhale, we're going to extend both arms. With an exhale,
we're going to draw the shoulder blades together, and we're going to bring your attention to
right below the left shoulder blade. That's where you're going to do the twisting, the
revolving; come from below the shoulder blade. Elbow to your knee; begin to create length
in your spine, so that it's the length in your spine that's going to assist or create
space for the twist. The more space you create in your spine, the more you'll be able to
twist. And you're going to do the revolving from the left rib into the right, left armpit
into the right. Lengthen out the crown of your head, drawing your attention into breath,
and then repeating on the other side.
