Jathara Parivartanasana - Revolved Abdominal Pose

Jathara Parivartanasana

Be barefoot. Lie on your back on the floor with your arms outstretched from your shoulders, like the letter T, palms facing the ceiling. Let there be a straight line running from your chin, to your sternum, to your pubic bone. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips off the floor and swing them to the left. Place them on the floor there. Take your knees toward your chest and drop them toward the floor on the right side of your body. Inhaling, lengthen your spine. Exhale both shoulders toward the floor. Soften your gaze; quiet your hearing; relax your jaw. Hold the spinal twist for three complete breaths. Lift your legs off the floor and place your feet back down to center your hips on the floor. Repeat everything to the other side. Breathe evenly and comfortably through your nose.
