Person practising Revolved Head-to-Knee Pose with one leg extended, one knee bent, and the torso side-bending over the straight leg.

Revolved Head-to-Knee Pose

Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana

Revolved Head-to-Knee Pose combines a wide-legged seat, one bent knee, a side bend and a gentle twist. It can create a clear stretch through the side waist and inner leg, but it usually works better when you aim for length and breath rather than trying to pull the head to the knee.

Revolved Half Moon Pose

Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana

Revolved Half Moon Pose combines single-leg balance, a standing hamstring fold and a controlled twist. It usually works best when you lower your expectations a little, use support if needed and build the shape from length first, then rotation.

Person practising Revolved Chair Pose with palms at the chest and torso twisting over bent knees.

Revolved Chair Pose

Parivrtta Utkatasana

Revolved Chair Pose combines a squat-like base with a steady spinal twist. It asks for leg work, balance and clear organisation through the torso, and it is usually more useful when kept compact rather than pushed into a big turn.

Person lying on the back with bent legs lowered to one side in Revolved Abdomen Pose.

Revolved Abdomen Pose

Jathara Parivartanasana

Revolved Abdomen Pose is a reclining twist where both legs move across the body while the shoulders stay grounded as comfortably as possible. It is a simple way to explore spinal rotation and gentle core control without needing to balance.

Person practising Reverse Warrior in a wide standing stance with front knee bent, back leg straight, and top arm reaching overhead in side view.

Reverse Warrior

Viparita Virabhadrasana

Reverse Warrior keeps the legs working as they do in Warrior II while adding a side bend and lift through the front body. It is less about dropping back and more about finding length from the outer edge of the back foot up through the top fingertips.

Side view of Reverse Tabletop Pose with hands and feet pressing into the floor and hips lifted.

Reverse Tabletop Pose

Ardha Purvottanasana

Reverse Tabletop is a simple back-body strength pose that opens the front of the shoulders and chest while asking the hips to lift. It can be useful after sitting, though the comfortable range will vary from body to body.

Back view of Reverse Prayer Pose with the palms together behind the upper back while standing upright.

Reverse Prayer Pose

Pashchima Namaskarasana

Reverse Prayer Pose is a standing shoulder and wrist opening where the palms meet behind the back. The work is usually less about pushing the hands together and more about arranging the shoulders, chest and upper back so the shape feels clear and steady.

Person lying face down in Reverse Corpse Pose with arms overhead and forehead resting on the mat.

Reverse Corpse Pose

Advasana

Reverse Corpse Pose is a simple prone resting shape. It gives the front body a gentle opening while the floor supports the whole torso, so it can be a quiet pause after backbends or any time you want to settle face down.

Person lying on their back in a one-knee supine twist with one knee crossing the body and one arm open to the side.

One-Knee Supine Twist

Jathara Parivartanasana Variation

One-Knee Supine Twist is a simple reclining twist that brings gentle rotation to the spine while keeping one foot on the floor. It is often more manageable than a full supine twist and works well at the end of practice or after long periods of sitting.

Person lying on the back in a supported reclining twist with eagle-wrapped legs and arms open to the sides.

Reclining Eagle-Leg Twist

Supta Garudasana Variation

Reclining Eagle-Leg Twist combines a wrapped-leg shape with a supine twist, creating a clear stretch through the outer hip and side waist while keeping the body supported by the floor.
