Parivrutta Trikonasana is an easy, standing yoga pose involving the movement of the whole body. “Parivrutta '' in Sanskrit means revolved, implying the front portion of the trunk revolved to the back and bent forward, resembling a triangular shape. This posture is also known as the twisted triangle posture or the revolved triangle posture.
Practice Method:
Begin by standing in tadasana. Remember to keep the feet together.
Slowly widen your legs sideways.
Expand your arms horizontally. Ensure they are parallel to the ground and in line with the shoulders.
Breathing in turn your torso. Keep your legs firm on the ground without bending the knees.
Breathing out, turn at the hip joint to the left side.
Lay your right palm near the left foot on the floor. Turn your head and try looking at the fingertips in the left hand.
Be in the final posture for a comfortable duration, and then come back to the original position.
Repeat the same steps in the opposite direction and complete one round of Parivrutta Trikonasana.
Benefits

Aids in enhancing coordination, concentration and balance. Regularly practicing, Parivrutta Trikonasana enhances focus and enables the practitioner to stay centered and focused.
Removes fatigue and exhaustion: By promoting increased blood flow throughout the body, the asana helps make the practitioner more energetic and less exhausted.
Improves digestion: The spine gets twisted, massaging the internal organs while performing this asana. This improves the functioning of the digestive organs and enhances digestion.
Strength and Flexibility: Parivrutta Trikonasana strengthens the back muscles and relieves stiffness, and offers flexibility. As this asana twists the spine, improving movement in the abdomin-thoracic area, it also offers comfort to pain in this area.
