Yoga posture - Parivrtta Anjaneyasana
Translation: Revolved Lunge Pose
From the Lunge posture above bring the opposite elbow over the front
bent leg. Use the elbow to help in the rotation of the spine.
Tips
It may be tempting to bring the hands in line with the sternum. (In
the middle of the chest.) If an enjoyable twist can be achieved then this
will look better as far as alignment is concerned. It may be a better idea
to place slightly higher. Feel the twist in the spine and stop when
rotating if comfort is lost or if breathing becomes shallow and difficult.
It is easy for a posture to have negative effects if it is approached
too aggressively. Finding gentle boundaries is usually more therapeutic
and quite a refined art.
It is nice to blend the standing posture with spinal twists. Twisting
the body many times in a yoga Vinyasa can result in a great freedom
and looseness in the spine. As a result Shakti energy (energy that moves
up and down the spine) can also move more freely.
