Adjusting Utthita Parsvakonasana Verbal and Physical Cues (Side Angle Stretch) with David Garrigues

Here are the verbal cues from my new book, Teaching Yoga with Verbal Cues, for Utthita Pārśvakoṇāsana — Lunge! Make your right thigh parallel to the ground, and stack the knee over the ankle. — Swing your right knee to meet your right arm. — Press your right fingertips or hand on the ground, and brace your right arm. — Reach up through your top arm on the diagonal; line up the arm over your left ear. — Lengthen your back leg from hip to foot. — Ground your back thigh; press the femur bone deep into the flesh of the leg. — Brace the back leg to resist the lunge of your front leg. — Reach down through your back leg and up through the top arm. — Your back leg, spine, and top arm form an unbroken diagonal line in the side plane. — Rotate your spine along the diagonal line; open your chest and navel to the sky. — Gaze upward from in front of your top arm; then turn your eyeballs in the sockets and gaze at your left palm while continuing to align your head with your torso. _ _ 🔥👉🏽Register for my new online course that meets on Saturdays starting September 11, HOW TO ADJUST YOGA POSES (Your Own and Others). https://davidgarrigues.com/events/ver...
