Revolved Side Angle Pose
Revolved Side Angle Pose stretches the legs, hips, and spine while improving balance and concentration.
- Start in a standing position with your feet hip-width apart.
- Step your left foot back into a lunge, keeping your right knee over your right ankle.
- Twist your torso to the right, placing your left elbow outside your right knee.
- Extend your arms, reaching your right arm up and your left arm down.
- Hold the pose, breathing deeply, then switch sides.
How to perform the Revolved Side Angle Pose
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Revolved Side Angle Pose using your body weight.
- Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your primary working muscles.
- Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.
Coaching cues
- Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
- Drive force through your working muscles rather than momentum.
- Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.
Common mistakes
- Using too much weight and losing positional control.
- Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
- Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
