Rotated pelvis and unstable L5 joint (Yoga: Healing from Injury)

Guest writer and highly esteemed Hatha Yoga practitioner since 1974 and teacher since 1997, Robyn Stephens talks about Jathara Parivrtti pose, which helped correct her rotated pelvis and unstable L5 joint.



“The pose depicted in the photo is called Jathara Parivrtti. There are three variations of this pose, see diagrams. I have been practicing this pose most mornings holding for 12 full breaths, on each side.

Even though it is a lateral stretch for the side of the body, I have found version one very helpful to correct my rotated pelvis as it stretches the hip and lower lateral muscles of the torso. Both buttocks must stay grounded and work on keeping both the ankles together.
My visits to the chiropractor for sore back and unstable L5 joint have been eliminated since starting daily practice”.


In 2000 Robyn started studying with senior teachers from India and has continued yearly training. In 2015 Robyn will travel to India to complete a one month internship as a clinical Yoga Therapist.
