The Lateral Seated Angle yoga pose, also known as Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana, is a pose that stretches the hamstrings, groin, and spine.
Begin in a seated position with one leg straight and the other bent, the foot resting against the inner thigh. Reach the arm on the same side as the bent leg toward the foot, twisting the torso to face the opposite direction.
The other arm can reach overhead, creating a side stretch. This pose can also be modified by using a strap or block to help reach the foot.
The Lateral Seated Angle pose is great for improving flexibility and balance, and can also help alleviate lower back pain.
