OM in 30 secondsIntense Side Stretch pose, or
Parsvottanasana, is a great way to
get to know your body’s imbalances.
Physically, the pose makes the legs,
hips, spine, wrists and shoulders
more elastic. The pose is also great
for improving postural defects.
Yoga At Home, Page 30I love the utter, relentless deepening
of focus that comes with yoga. You
suddenly realise you’re in this moment
and everything has worth. When I
improvise in jazz, I absolutely have to
be in the moment and yoga helps me
get into that mindset.
OM Meets Barb Jungr, Page 34
Extended Side Angle Pose,
or Utthita Parsvakonasana,
strengthens and stretches your
legs, ankles, hips and shoulders.
In this standing pose your body
stretches sideways over your front
leg, which is bent to a right angle.
