Video taken from the channel: siddhiyogateachertraining
Turn your right foot out to the right 90 degrees and turn your left foot inslightly to the right. Align the right heel with the left heel. Firm your thighs and turn your right thigh outward, so that the center of the kneecap is in line with the center of the right.In a classic Extended Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana), if the right foot is forward, the right hand is also forward.
In Revolved Side Angle, when the right foot is forward, it’s the left hand that goes with it. This changes the direction of your twist, which is where the revolved part comes in.Step 1Begin in a low lunge with your right foot forward. Step 2Spin your back heel down, and take your left hand to the ground inside of your right foot, in line with your left shoulder. Step.
Revolved Side Angle Pose Steps: Bring the twist towards the left side with the hip and shoulders by bending the left knee. Placing the left foot forward and the right foot behind the left foot, stretch forward with the arms in front of you and place the right elbow outside the left bend knee and gaze twisting the neck upwards.Revolved Side Angle is an excellent standing twist pose that can help improve and stimulate your digestive system. You see, the twist you make will squeeze and massage your abdominal organs, thereby relieving constipation. Revolved Side Angle for Stamina This is a powerful and complex pose; it takes some time to master it.
Start in a lunge with your right foot forward, back foot on the floor and at an outward angle. Exhale and rotate to the right, bringing your left hand to the floor outside of your right foot. Inhale and reach your right arm up and then alongside your ear. Breathe while holding the pose.
The Revolved Side Angle Pose is Utthita Parsvakonasana with a serious twist. It increases your flexibility in the hips and lower back. Here the key is to plant that back heel as strongly as you can to maintain your balance.
Step by Step Pose Information Benefits Variations Partnering.The Foundations Of Yoga Series continues! Adriene leads a 20 min Yoga Practice to prep and practice Revolved Side Angle Pose (Parivrtta Parsvakonasana). Go deeper and learn the foundations of this fierce and powerful posture that offer’s loads of benefits for the mind and body.
Parivrtta Parsvakonasana (Revolved Side Angle Pose) is an intense twist and, in my opinion, the most difficult of the basic standing poses. It challenges the practitioner’s flexibility, strength, sense of balance, and presence of mind.Parivrtta Parsvakonasana is a deep twisting posture that requires balance, and which helps stimulate the visceral organs in the chest and abdominal area. In.The English title is Bound Revolved Side Angle Pose.
In Baddha Parivrtta Parsvakonasana, while the base pose is Utthita Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose), the variation here is the torso is in a twist while the arms are in a bind around the extended leg.Today I am going to show you a variation of the easy revolved side angle pose, or suka parivrtta parsvakonasana. So, you may start by coming on the hands and knees, then bring the right foot.
Take a deep breath and distance your legs 4-5 feet apart.Raise your arms in line with your shoulders keeping them parallel to the floor, palms facing down. As you exhale, turn the right foot outwards 90 degrees to the right.Slightly turn the left foot inwards 60 degrees to the right.In order to deepen the revolved side angle pose, turn your back foot around 45 – 60 degrees better than you do do most times you do other standing poses. You may need to use a support underneath your back heel when you’re doing this pose for the first time.Revolved side angle (Parivrtta Parsvakonasana in Sanskrit) is an intermediate yoga pose that belongs to the balancing and standing and twists categories.
This asana targets calves and chest and hamstrings and shoulders and spine and also involves ankles and knees and middle back / lats and obliques and quadriceps muscles.

This video was so great that it helped me get my left splits! I’ve only ever been able to do my right side and thanks to adriene I can do the left side too! Thanks so much adriene and namaste! ����
It’s so nice to come here and read the comments that others are struggling. They really help to remind me to NOT GET MAD AT MYSELF.. it will never help my practice and prevents me from succeeding even if I physically was capable of the poses. I am reminded to just take a break if needed, come back rejuvenated and with the PRACTICE I will be able to succeed in the pose. I love yoga as an anxious person, it reminds me to breathe and has helped a lot with my cheek biting habit! Namaste my friends and THANK YOU Adriene for FREE yoga I am so grateful for you and your service!
I had to stop the video and do some extra child poses while doing this, but I finally got it! Now I feel awesome and very proud of myself! Namaste �� #SHIFT July2020
I tend to not choose the foundations of yoga videos as I’ve been practising for years but I reckoned there was a reason this was in the July playlist and I really find side angle hard so went for it this morning. What a great little practice for tight legs, back and working the core! Will definitely come back to this one. Thank you Adriene and fellow yogis xx
Still “shifting” through July. This was a challenging, but rewarding class. I discover new stability and strength each time I practice this pose. Thanks Adriene. ����
Perfect for shuffling seeing an angle from a new side. Seeing a perspective from a new angle. So freakin’’ easy to get caught up in our own rigid we lost sight of another side. Very important to help us SHIFT energies.
Great practice today, but a little challenging! Loving the SHIFT playlist
Been a proud YWA member for a long time, but these practices still get me, though.
There’s always tomorrow:)
Well keeping my back knee down is the way to go for me. It was a challenge.
Day 14 of OPEN, this practice was strong and challenging. I had to breathe through my arthritis pain but I think this is the first time I have done this practice so next time will be better. It’s a real strengthening sequence. Only 20 minutes but I feel really worked out, awesome ����♀️����♀️����
Think the legs weren’t warm enough Adriene. My hip flexors were starting to cramp on the revolved pose
Yesterday I started coming down with the flu and I skipped this practice yesterday so I just did it and yup the lunge with the side twist was very yummy I felt it but it helped clear my congestion so that’s a plus.
hope everyone had a lovely practice, I’m on to todays practice now so love u guys and NAMASTE everyone:-)=
i love ur videos! i always laugh and enjoy the practice with u:)
Am I the only one who feels like Adriene is right here teaching me this class? She is magic! I didn’t realize I was sweating until we went into child pose. Lol. Namaste
A nice little challenging practice to set the day off. I did wibble and wobble but then I also did ok. Thank you!
YWA July 2020 Sweating with Adriene! Used the breath instead of giving up. It was a quick reminder to bring the breath into my day. Thanks!!
Hi Adriene! I’m really liking that you started integrating foundation videos into the monthly playlist! Although I always tell myself that I should do them, I never get around to it and I prefer just following the monthly lists. This is a great way to integrate them in:)
I had surgery at the start of May so after finally recovering fully this is my first practice after nearly two and a half months. I‘d be lying if I said it wasn‘t hard but it also wasn‘t as hard as I thought my first session would be. I definitely lost some flexibility and muscle but this practice makes me feel positive about gaining it back in the future!
I liked it!! This is so fabulous that every day we face new videos, postures and whispers. Namaste! ❤️
I can’t wait to chip away at this one until I don’t fall anymore <3
I did this ‘little ditty’ after a 6 mile walk! Awesome!! ❤️❤️❤️
I really struggle with the low lunges because my knees start hurting really bad after a short while. Any tips to strengthen the knee or position it differently? Doubleing the Matt doesn’t help:/
Here today with July Shift and found this one a toughie! Been doing Yoga everyday since the start of the year with ‘Home’ and definitely feel stronger but some days are more challenging from others. Where I wasn’t able to hold the poses today I at least feel something shift in my mind / perspective, for which I am grateful. Thank you always �� ��
this is really so helpful to understand not only to go into the posture.. thanks a lot.
Great practice Adriene, i love this one thank you. Namaste ������
Elizabeth was rocking that not so easy posture. Bravo, well done. Awesome tips and your lessons are filled with such awareness and compassion for the practice and your students.��������✌��������♂️
The foundations of yoga series are always challenging. I felt that stretch! Thank you Adriene.
Thank you for always considering people with sciatica! You have my loyalty!
I always seem to have an exceptional amount of pressure/discomfort on my knees in poses like this and pigeon, etc. Depending on the day I can curl my toes under and lift my back leg (today was not one of those days xD) but otherwise i have to put a pillow under my knee which kind of makes me a bit unstable (doubling the mat doesn’t seem to help at all) I am wondering if there is a reason I have that pressure in my knee, maybe I should be engaged somewhere else to take that weight off of it?? Any tips are helpful. Thank you <3
This one was quite difficult for me! �� Tougher for left side but I did get better for the Right Side.. loved it. Thanks
Day 133����❤️���� “What seems so hard now, will some day be your warm up”
Day 16 #SHIFT YWA July 2020! Love how at the beginning I was all like: “oh so great, love this pose-let’s do this!!!,” then 10 minutes later Adriene says inhale and lift the back knee while in pose and I’m yelling out “how???!!!” Lol! Fell out on the first side, wobbled on the second, but isn’t that the beauty of the journey? Learning so much: to focus on my breath, lift UP then twist, and my thighs and glutes are still tingling…feels amazing Grateful ����
So great to read all the positive comments from those who also found this video pretty tough! I was pretty down on myself and feeling disappointed, but I’ll choose to feel humbled and grateful instead.
<3 thank you <3 Agreed with another comment here I thought I was good and then this came along and it was HARD! But I am really tired and a little weak today so I think that'a why!
<3 thank you again <3 Namaste <3
This was a wonderful little practice i really enjoyed it today thank u adriene much love namaste ������❤��������
I had a little trouble with the side angle poses because I felt tight. Also my body felt like ending with standing wide angle pose, head down. Thanks again for another useful video! ���� ��♀️
Thank you, lifting hand is realy challenging for me, I am not kidding.
I feel like this video would’ve been perfect, but it was the final straw telling me the next practice I do HAS to be hip openers. They’ve been talking to me for a few days now, but with this they were screaming. Might have to come back in a few days once they’ve been sorted ahaha
I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again Adriene, you get me ❤ this was exactly what I needed today. Now my mind matches the sunshine outside ��
Shifted days for this Shift month. �� Tomorrow I’ll surf! Haha
Day 133 done! Sort of, my body feels crap today.
Low energy, time to call it for today and go to bed. Good night and namaste ��♀️
ALWAYS more to learn about myself and my practice! Thanks for the beautiful wake up call �� Namaste
my legs felt really tired today for some reason and my balance suffered as a result, so this was quite difficult for me. but still fun:)
Suuuuper hard practice for me-leg and back issues mean I always have issues with balance poses. Guess that means I’ll just have to bookmark it and keep coming back to grow this part of my home practice. ����
OPEN, day 14! What an eye opener!:D I thought I’m getting stronger but wow, this was hard! But loved it anyway!:) NAMASTE <3
Hi, do you have any practises that would help strengthen hips? I’m hypermobile and they can get really painful
Adrienne can you PLEASE do an “intermediate” yoga camp series? Please please please!!!
I need some advice y’all! No matter what position I’m in downward dog, table top, crow…my wrists hurt SO bad! I spread my fingers, I push away from the earth & yet they still hurt! I couldn’t get my crow to fly today, but I realized once I was rocking in that position that I need some help with my wrists before I get there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much!!
Thank you for helping me to let go of the day’s woes. I feel so much better:) Love and light to you, Namaste x x x
SHIFT day16……I usually do yoga in the evening.today I did in morning…it is really effective in morning…wish to stick with morning yoga…thank you Adriene♥️u r encouraging and motivating
THANK YOU! I have been struggling with this one and your tips are priceless, they made it possible to explore the position finally!:)
This is a really helpful practice in many ways! Thank you Adriene xx Namaste ����
Thank you Adriene ��
Day 16 Shift July’20
See you tomorrow ����♀️
Namaste ����
A very good thing to know about the benefits for body and mind of course. So this is a great practice and anyway. The whole body does better when energy flow throughout. It calms very well. I’m feeling very peaceful right now. Namaste.
Open Day 14:) Glad I’m not the only one who found this challenging! Definitely going to come back to it and hopefully feel much stronger the next time!
Morning! I had trouble with balancing during this practice but it was still great! Thank you Adriene:)
OPEN day 14
Quite a quick juicy session today, fits my busy schedule!
Namaste.
#ywaOPEN #FWFG
This definitely is the toughest asana for me….and those were the exact compromises i was unable to spread out evenly so a big thanks for the tips….will try them out during practice….
good morning this was really rough on the knees (before lifting leg up) i doubled up my Matt and all is there anything else you can recommend or is there any practices that will grow my knee strenght?
Loved the idea of distributing the compromise. And very clear and crisp instructions on the asana. Thanks so much? ✌✌
Surprisingly challenging today def need to build up to the posture to feel your way through.
Ny knees hurt so much in these positions. Doubling the mat doesn’t help. Any good advices?
Jeeze that was so much harder than I expected! Tried my best though.
This video sucks when u describe what to do with your body it doesn’t make sense and I lose my focus and my mindfulness for your stupid explanation. I’m sorry but what the hell is starfish why not use actual terms. I guess this will be your actual first hate comment
Hi addrienne i have a sore back after my yoga class last night
So, my stylist was cutting my hair today and said she’s been enjoying a couple of your videos. I told her that was great and she needs to be doing BOTH of our videos since I’m her client! She’s attempting to give up smoking and has been doing more exercise. The things we learn when getting a trim.
Oh, and the haircut looks GREAT!
Sean
Hey! Could you do a video for stretching out muscled after a long school/work day? Sorry if you have already done a video like that. Thanks!
I didn’t think that would be challenging. �� Great stretch!!!
Thanks a Lot David! I benefited a lot from this Video. My hand (say right) upon twisting is not able to go down to the Right side of Left leg. Similarly on the other side. How can I improve that flexibility please?
another way to compromise: back heel on a wall and then less & less each rep..
Thank you for another great practice, Day 16 #ywaSHIFT, Namaste
Wow! This was a lot harder than anticipated! I couldn’t do the full twist to the outside of the leg and never mind lifting the back leg. Lol. But still a great practice!
OPEN Day 14: Wouh! This one was challenging. I kept losing blood circulation in my legs and had to get out of the posture to shake them lol and I’m not very flexible when it comes to twisting because of my spinal fusion. It was tough not to judge myself. But I did my best! And can only get better from here!
Wow, this was surprisingly a tough practice for me today. Just trying to keep my thighs hugging in to the center and my core engaged and tucking in was tough. I didn’t stay in the side posture for very long and just try to focus on strengthening and stabling at the center. Idk if that’s right or wrong, but just trying not too push myself too overboard.
What I love about yoga is that you could be amazing at so many asanas and then one will come along and humble you. This was that posture for me. I couldn’t lift my back knee off the ground and I fell out of the posture at least thrice. What a wonderful experience! I now have a new thing to work towards. Thank you for including this in Shift.
i felt that!! i’m going to be coming back to this one. i know my hips are a bit tight but this showed me just how much!! haha
love your passion, admire your knowledge…many thanks from canada
