they are toughies, especially if the prior

night's dis-equilibrium regimen is still in full

effect.<br><br>for revolved triangle, get your hips fully facing

toward your forward foot. extend way forward, then move

towards the floor with your hand while you twist. the key

for me has been to twist to the max, the balance is

easier the further i pull my shoulder around. when i am

partially leaning out over the side of the extended leg,

the incomplete twist puts my center of gravity off to

the side and i'm constantly wavering, much to the

chagrin of my forward quad and hamstring. extend as far

as you can into both legs. the back leg's action is

just as important for a stable base. the biggest

"burn" for quite a while for me was in my back leg

buttock. you've got to push that back as far as you can to

square the hips. extend in all directions, to the floor,

to the ceiling, along the back leg..stability will

come<br><br>for the revolved parsvakonasana, hard to do this one

unless you can really twist. one of our local teachers

has th e students just twist with the elbow of the

lower arm on the knee and the hands in prayer. he

doesn't want them to try for the full posture until they

can twist to the point that their tricep is outside

of the forward leg. then, it's just a matter of

extending the arm, finding the balance and then extending

along the back leg and upper arm. usually, by the time

i've got a semblence of balance, have twisted and

torqued myself around to where my hand gets to the

ground, the teacher has usually already gotten to the

four count. the worst part of my technique for this

one is getting my back leg back to a straight

position with foot flat. i tend to roll that foot onto the

inner edge and my knee caves. i watched david swenson

on this one at the workshop. he dropped the knee of

the back leg down to the ground, twisted and got his

arm and hand in position, then raised the back knee

up, straightening the leg while he extended his

forward arm.<br><br>so, i'm curious. is meeja hore

anything like yora beach or ima tart?
