In this class we explore the fuzzy distinction between side bending, or parśva poses, and twists, or parivṛtta poses. Anatomically, side bends and twists typically ask a combination of both actions in our spines.

Poses featured include supta sukhāsana and parśva sukhāsana (supine cross-legged pose and easy cross-legged pose with a forward fold and side bend), parivṛtta utkatāsana (rotated chair pose), parivṛtta anjaneyāsana (rotated crescent lunge), ardha badha pādmottānāsa (half bound standing lotus pose), and parivṛtta paścimottānāsana (rotated forward fold).
