This week's pose is Utthita Parsvakonasana --Extended side angle pose
Utthita means "intense", parsva (pronounced "parshva") means "side" and kona "angle," and asana "pose."
Standing poses like this one are fundamental to a beginner (and beyond) yoga practise. They inspire confidence, strength, and balance. They lengthen the spine safely.
This pose, as it is named, opens the hips and sides of the body, as well as shoulders.
