August 12, 2014 By Rupali Embry Leave a Comment

Check out all the awarenesses in parighasana (crossgate)

Parighasana, or bar across the gate pose, is a pose that takes the body into an unusual position. True side arches are not something we normally do during the course of a day. But the spine loves to bend in all directions! This is a great pose to help unwind the spine towards the end […]
