Today I’m highlighting parshvakonasana. This is a great pose that combines a lunge and a twist. This pose is started easily in a high lunge with your back heel off the ground. Next, you twist your rib cage towards the front leg. The easiest version of this pose is done with one hand on the ground (or using blocks as pictured). If you’re comfortable with that, you can proceed to putting your hands in prayer (picture two). Finally, one plants their back heel on the ground and extends the top arm (picture one). That version didn’t seem hard to me until I tried it. The first time I almost fell over! After a lot of practice, parshvakonasana is no longer difficult. As with any yoga posture that you first meet that is difficult, time helps. Something once impossible becomes challenging, then difficult. Finally a posture will become easy. There are many, many postures where I'm still waiting for them to become possible or where I am waiting on ease (handstand for example is still HARD). This applies to everything in life. If you meet the impossible with an open mind, heart, and patients, then a reward is coming your way (eventually).
