In this sequence you take your students to the Parighasana posture in Hatha Yoga. Parigha is a crossbar or bar used to close a barrier. In this posture, the body looks like a bolt used to close doors, hence its name. With less precision, this posture is called the hinge posture.
This posture stretches the pelvis area, pelvic area, sides of the torso, and the entire spine. It tones the abdomen and opens the shoulders. It stretches the hamstring muscles, gluteus maximus, erector pectorals, intercostal muscles and obliques.
One side of the abdomen is stretched while the other is flexed. This improves breathing and lung expansion by increasing the breathing capacity, but it is essential to keep the lower flank as long as possible so as not to compress it.
This keeps the abdominal muscles and organs in good condition. The skin of the stomach does not sag and remains healthy. Spinal curls are recommended for people with stiff backs.
