Triangle twist side stretching yoga

Sanskrit name: Parivrtta Parsvakonasana

English name: Revolved Side Angle Pose

Chinese name: Triangle torsion lateral extension

(par-ee-vrt-tah parsh-vah-cone-AHS-anna) parivrtta = twist

parsva = Side

kona = angle

efficacy

Strengthen and stretch legs, knees and ankles

Stretch the groin, spine, chest and lungs, and shoulders

Stimulate abdominal organs

Increase staying power

Improve digestion

Improve balance

The triangular twist lateral extension is stronger and will have greater effectiveness. But the stretching of the tendons in the leg yoga department is not as strong as the stretching of the triangle twist. This position contracts the abdominal organs to help digestion and promotes blood circulation in the abdomen and spine, making these areas more vibrant. And this position also helps to remove waste from your intestines without difficulty.

Contraindications/warnings

headache

high or low blood pressure

insomnia
