Sometimes we need to relax the muscles to go deeper into a pose (...or use some momentum!) and practicing Parsvottanasana is a perfect example of how, and why, to do that.
In this tutorial, we’re showing you how to do PARSVOTTANASANA / INTENSE SIDE STRETCH POSE from Ashtanga Yoga’s Fundamental Sequence with the traditional vinyasa cues, Sanskrit counts, and coordinates for this pose. You’ll also learn variations to help you access this pose with more ease, cultivate more stability with different foot positions, and create more space for the arms (especially if your palms don’t quite touch yet!). We’ll share tips to guide you in finding proper alignment so you can avoid common mistakes and prevent injury to areas such as the knees and shoulders.

Thanks!!! It is a difficult position for me, overall put together my hands behind my back. I will try all the tricks you gave us. I would like to get my hands in pride position behind my back 😅

A very informative video. What I am enjoying about your style of teaching is the fact that you teach in a classical way and really flip the Pose or asana inside out figuratively speaking and it's something that most yoga teachers don't really do which I find is much needed!!Thank you!! I look forward to next week's tutorial!!❤

Very informative video. The ‘surprise yourself’ part: I just loved it. The fact that one would actually feel more comfortable with hands higher up the back is an eye opener. Trying to keep the spine straight as one bends forward is a great tip. Thanks and God bless!

Very thorough explanations, love the ‘surprise yourself’ part as well! Will try that next although not struggling with the palms behind in this posture. What’s confusing to me is the positioning of the back foot I’ve practiced with several teachers also trained by your teacher, but the most common guidance was to keep the back foot at 45 degree angle (and that helps with the biomechanics part of the knee/ankle/foot direction). Have you seen others doing this as well? Do you recommend against it or it’s just a flavour of the teacher’s preference?

Thank you for this one as well! For me the most difficult part is the shoulders, so thank you for the tips for that!

Hello friends! Very helpful ! Thank you so much. I raised the hands on my back as you suggested and wrist really stop hurting. however I still have some discomfort on the side of hands touching the back since the wrist has a side bend. Any exercise suggestion to avoid this? Thanks a lot.
