Revolved Chair
A chair pose with a twist, one elbow hooked outside the opposite thigh, palms together; held for time.
How to do it
Setup
Feet hip-width, knees bent, hips back, palms together at the chest.
Steps
- Turn the chest and hook the lower elbow outside the opposite thigh.
- Keep the knees side by side and the hips low.
- Hold and breathe, then unwind and turn the other way.
Common mistakes
One knee sliding ahead: keep them side by side. Rounding the back to reach the thigh: lengthen first, then turn. Levering deeper with the elbow: it only holds what the ribs have turned.
Breathing
Inhale lengthening, exhale into the twist.
