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. To contact Robyn for a private consultation or to
