PARVITTA PARSWAKONASANA
This powerful twist stimulates your internal organs, rotates your spine and challenges your breath. Maintain some weight on your back leg to help you balance.
Exhale, turn your right foot out by 90 degrees and your left foot in by 45 degrees. Bend your right knee to a deep lunge, knee directly above your ankle. Maintain a deep abdominal strength through the bandhas and revolve your torso so that you can place your left elbow on the outer side of your right thigh and your left hand on the floor. Keep your back foot well planted on the floor and lift your right arm overhead so that there is a diagonal line from heel to fingertips. Stay for five breaths. Inhale, come up and bring your feet parallel. Exhale, turn out your left foot and repeAt on the other side. Stay for five breaths and then inhale, come up slowly and bring your feet parallel. Exhale, step or jump your feet together and come back to the front of your mat in Samosthiti (see page 46).
