Extended Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana)

One of my favorite asanas is this standing pose – extended side angle.  Standing poses are helpful in strength, alignment, agility and they help your circulatory and digestive systems function more effectively.  Standing poses help bring awareness to your posture.

Catherine’s version of the pose. I need some work here, but it still is one of my favorite stretches.
