A Standing, Twisting Yoga Pose to Increase Circulation and Inner Attention

Parivrtti Trikonasana—simply known as the standing revolved triangle pose—is a powerful twisting posture that builds balance and strength. Preparation for this asana should include a series of forward bending postures as well as a counter-pose to balance the spine.

The Viniyoga version shown in this video includes lengthening the exhalation with suspension of breath. This helps to increase circulation and promote a deep state of inner attention.
