Parsvakonasana (Side Angle Pose): A Blend of Strength and Stretch
Parsvakonasana, or Side Angle Pose, is a key standing posture in yoga that builds strength, balance, and flexibility. This pose features a deep lunge with one leg bent at a 90-degree angle while the other leg stays extended, as the upper body reaches diagonally. It encourages full-body elongation and grounding, creating a sense of both energy and calm.
Benefits of Parsvakonasana
• Builds strength in the legs, knees, ankles, and core
• Deeply stretches the side body, groin, spine, chest, and shoulders
• Enhances balance, endurance, and overall stability
• Stimulates internal organs to support digestion and metabolism
• Expands the chest, improving breathing capacity
Precautions & Safety Tips
• Avoid the pose if you have injuries in the knees, hips, or shoulders—use props for support if needed
• Keep the core engaged to safeguard the lower back
• Ensure your front knee stays directly above the ankle to prevent strain
• Beginners or those with health concerns should practice under the supervision of a qualified instructor
