Parsvottanasana

Parsvottanasana. 
Geeta Iyengar wrote about this asana:
“Parsvottanasana contains several movements, which maintain mobility of the following joints - the neck, arms, shoulders, wrists, armpits, ankles, toes, knees, pelvis, thighs and spine. Every joint participates and involved in the action. It is an ‘action-packed’ asana. Yet, it has a capacity to calm down the brain and cool down the nerves so that the mind is free from tension”. We love this asana! 👌🏼
If you don’t reach the ground with your hands, we recommend using bricks on either side of the leg and keep your palms on them. ✋🏼
Make sure that your pelvis is square, don’t tilt it in order to reach the ground. 
Flexible people will find it easier to reach the ground, but harder to understand and keeping the alignment of the hips. 
The not so flexible people will have a harder time reaching the ground, but easier to understand and keep the alignment. 
And practice, of course, will balance those tendencies 😊

Enjoy 💛
