Hi, I'm Priscilla Flynn. I am speaking with you from Yoga Sanctuary, in Windham New Hampshire
and you can read more about us on our website, YogaSanctuary.com. Today's clip is about practicing
Parsvakonasana or in English, lateral angle. It's a side angle, it's a two sided pose.
It's good to know the first two standing poses, that we just practiced, Warrior I and Warrior
II, more or less as warm ups and introductory poses, to come into this pose because this
pose continues to stretch and strengthen the legs. To give us balance, a sense of balance,
also stretches the whole side of the body, from the outer foot, all the way out through
the fingertips. It stretches through the intercostal muscles that connect the ribs, the hip, the
side leg and also creates strength in the forward leg. It's a posture that does a lot
and we'll be talking about all kinds of alignment.
