Gate PoseParighasana · 관문 자세
How to do it
Kneel on one knee and extend the other leg straight out to the side, foot on the floor. Exhale as you lean your torso over the extended leg, reaching the top arm long over your head.
What it should feel like
A clear opening down the top side body from ribs to hip, with the inner thigh of the extended leg lengthening too.
Common mistakes
Collapsing the torso forward. Keep the chest open toward the ceiling and tilt purely to the side.
