Standing Side BendParsva Tadasana · 선 측굴
How to do it
Stand tall with feet together and clasp your hands overhead. Exhale as you lean the clasped hands to one side, curving the whole body into a soft crescent.
What it should feel like
The side away from the lean lengthens in one line from fingertips to hip. Both feet press evenly into the floor.
Common mistakes
Leaning sideways but also folding forward. Keep the chest facing front and arc purely to the side.
