How To Perform The bound revolved side angle Pose Properly
1. Begin by standing in mountain pose, with your feet hip-distance apart and your arms at your sides. You may want to place a yoga block or two nearby.
2. Step your right foot forward about one foot away from your midline, with both feet facing the same direction. Bend both knees to come into a lunge position. Make sure that both hips are square to the front and that your weight is evenly distributed between both feet.3. Reach your left arm up towards the sky, and then wrap it around the outside of your right thigh. Bring the left elbow towards the outside of the right knee, and press actively through both arms to draw torso in deeper towards the bent leg side.
4. Inhale to lift the chest and reach for your back heel with your left hand if possible, maintaining an energetic lift through the core of the body and rooting down through both legs strongly to support this action. Keep arms active throughout this pose and stay present with sensations in the body as you continue to hold for several breaths; inhaling deeply and exhaling completely as you go deeper into the posture each time you exhale.
5. To release, extend through arms on an inhale and step back into mountain pose with an exhale; repeating on opposite side if desired before coming out of practice altogether.
