Perfect Revolved Triangle (Parivrtta Trikonasana) Technique
Revolved Triangle (Parivrtta Trikonasana) is an advanced standing pose that combines the grounding of Triangle Pose with a deep spinal twist. This pose challenges balance, flexibility, and core strength while improving spinal mobility and detoxification. It requires patience, strength, and mindful alignment. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures safe progression, proper spinal rotation, and balanced foundation.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Wide Stance: Step feet 3-4 feet apart, turn right foot out 90 degrees, left foot in 15 degrees

- Establish Base: Ground both feet, lengthen spine, engage legs strongly
- Twist Spine: Place right hand on sacrum, begin rotating torso toward ceiling
