As March unfolds and nature awakens from its winter slumber, our bodies too crave a rejuvenating practice. This month, we explore the revitalizing Parivrtta Parsvakonasana, a twist that harmonizes with the season, promoting detoxification and renewal. Join us in discovering the intricacies of this pose, its myriad benefits, precautions to consider, and a special invitation to incorporate it into your yoga routine.

HOW TO PERFORM PARIVRTTA PARSVA KONASANA?

Follow these steps to embrace the energizing twist of Parivrtta Parsvakonasana:

• Begin in a standing position, with feet hip-width apart.
• Step your right foot back into a lunge position, keeping the left knee directly above the ankle.
• Place your right hand on the mat or a block on the inside of the left foot.
• Inhale deeply, lengthening the spine, and on the exhale, twist your torso to the left, bringing the left hand toward the ceiling.
• Gaze up at the left hand, keeping the neck in a neutral position.
• Hold the pose for 30 seconds to a minute, breathing steadily.
• To release, unwind the twist and return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
