Revolved Triangle Pose

 
Revolved triangle pose, or parivrtta trikonasana, incorporates a deep abdominal twist with a standing variation of parsvottanasana. In order for the pose to be balanced, both sides of the waist must remain equally long. This week we will work towards creating this length to deepen the twist and ultimately make the posture more stable.

    I attend Cheryl's class regularly and feel that my practice has improved immensely over the past few years due to her expert coaching. Her teaching style is clear and compassionate and her previous experience in teaching adults is evident in her organized approach and easy to understand instructions. I also appreciate that Cheryl not only teaches us about how to correctly position ourselves, but also touches on many aspects of yoga philosophy, which in turn has deepened my personal practice and heightened my awareness of the connection between mind and body, breath and relaxation.​
