Pose Description:

Parivrtta means revolved; trikona is a triangle. The <strong>Revolved Triangle Pose</strong> is a counter pose to Utthita Trikonasana and is a fantastic opening for the hips, hamstrings, lower back, spine and shoulders. Parivrtta Trikonasana makes the back stronger and freer and forms a frontal attack on tensions in the hip-joint.
