Asana: Your Physical Practice

In exploration of asana (our physical practice experienced through yoga postures/poses), we are able to invite the advantages of proper alignment and depth to engagement into the practice.  Within the member portal, you have access to a library of asanas/postures that have been broken down with alignment and engagement aspects highlighted for the learning yogi in us all.

Side Angle  /  Parsvakonasana 

  • Side angle pose is an open-hip posture
  • Stay active through both legs
  • When creating the diagonal shape through the side body, your core is engaging to hold you 'up'.  If it feels like you are resting on your thigh or block, come up higher and re-activate.
  • Maintain a long spine and open chest
  • Shoulders stack on the same plane
  • Guide the navel point towards the spine and stay lifted and active
  • Reach the top hand directly towards the sky for Side Angle
  • Reach the top hand towards the front of the room for Extended Side Angle
