Parivrtta Trikonasana or Revolved Triangle Pose

Introduction

Parivrtta Trikonasana (par-ee-vrit-TAH trick-cone-AH-suh-nuh) is a counter pose to Trikonasana. It gives flexibility to the hip joints and tones the buttock muscles while massaging the digestive organs, thus improving digestion. This pose also gives strength and flexibility to the back muscles and relieves stiffness and sprains in the lower back. It also opens the chest and gives flexibility to the shoulders.

Yoga is a series of poses that stretch and strengthen the entire body. Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle Pose) is one such pose, which stretches the hamstrings, hips, back muscles, and shoulder joints. Revolved triangle provides a deep twist to your spine. It also massages your internal organs for improved digestive system function. Revolved triangle improves balance in your body as well as strengthens your ankles and knees by aligning them with other parts of the legs. This pose helps you open up from an emotional perspective too by releasing worries or stress living inside you: it makes you feel more connected to yourself – mind & soul! The proper alignment required for this posture can be challenging but can be done correctly to achieve its amazing benefits.

According to a study Published in the Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine, the practice of Yoga has been shown to improve sleep quality in elderly people. The results are similar when compared with other studies involving an intervention for 6 months or more, so it’s important that we explore this further.
