Bound Side Angle Posture
Badha Parsvakonasana- Bound Side Angle Posture is a yogic must practice variation (in order to keep shoulders and chest open and flexible, also to prevent injuries). A beginner should start with less intense or deep variations, such as Warrior II; then drop one forearm onto the bent front leg, then continue reaching for the ground. Finally, if there is enough flexibility in the hips and the shoulders and chest are open enough to bind then the Bound Side angle becomes a great release for both upper and lower body. It is also a must posture to transition into Bird of Paradise. Photo taken in Huatulco, Mexico on my yoga teaching vacation, by Charles J. Wills IV.
