How to Do the Perfect Twisted Lunge (Parivrtta Anjaneyasana) - Complete Guide

Want to master Twisted Lunge — the rotational challenge that improves spinal mobility and builds balance through twisting? You're in the right place.

Perfect Twisted Lunge (Parivrtta Anjaneyasana) Technique

Twisted Lunge (Parivrtta Anjaneyasana) combines the hip opening benefits of a lunge with the detoxifying effects of a spinal twist. This challenging pose improves rotational mobility, enhances balance, and stimulates digestion while building strength in the legs and core. The combination of twisting and balancing makes it particularly beneficial for athletes who need rotational power and stability. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures safe spinal rotation, proper foundation, and optimal twist mechanics.
