This class explores Parighāsana (Gate Pose) with emphasis on rotation, rooting, and gradual progression. Begin by folding one leg back and setting the other to the wall at a 90° angle, slightly forward of that line. From here, the work is to stay upright, stamp the grounded leg, and spiral the chest open, touching the wall at the highest point possible rather than collapsing low Parighasana . Once upright rotation is established, add block support: place a block between wall and foot, then spiral the spine and lower gradually, catching the foot with one hand while the elbow presses into the block for leverage. The other arm arcs overhead, helping the chest roll skyward while the legs remain heavy and rooted. The sequence is built step by step: upright twist, supported lowering, deeper bind if available, always returning to foundation in the legs. Exits mirror other Second Series poses—fold into Half Lotus and suck the unit under into vinyāsa—linking Parighāsana back into the flow. The essence: root legs, spiral spine, use leverage wisely, and build depth one step at a time.
