Extended Side Angle Pose (Utthita
Parsvakonasana)
(oo-TEE-tah parsh-vah-cone-AHS-anna)
utthita = extended parsva = side, flank
kona = angle
Stand in Tadasana.
On an exhalation, step or lightly jump your feet 3.5 to 4 feet apart. Raise
your arms parallel to the floor and reach them actively out to the sides,
shoulder blades wide, palms down. Turn your left foot in slightly to the right
and your right foot out to the right 90 degrees. Align the right heel with the
left heel. Firm your thighs and turn your right thigh outward, so that the
center of the kneecap is in line with the center of the right ankle. Roll the
left hip slightly forward, toward the right, but rotate your upper torso back
to the left.
Benefits: Strengthens and stretches the legs, knees and ankles. Stretches the groins, spine, waist, chest and lungs and shoulders. Stimulates abdominal organs. Increases stamina.
Contraindications and Cautions: Headaches, high and low blood pressure, insomnia.
If you have any neck problems don't turn your head to look at the top arm; instead look straight ahead with the sides of the neck lengthened evenly, or look down at the floor.
Anchor the left (back) heel to the floor by lifting the inner left
groin deep into the pelvis. Then exhale and bend your right knee over the right
ankle, so that the shin is perpendicular to the floor. As you bend the knee aim
the inner knee toward the little-toe side of the foot. If possible, bring the
right thigh parallel to the floor.
Firm your shoulder blades against the back ribs. Extend your left
arm straight up toward the ceiling, then turn the left palm to face toward your
head and with an inhalation reach the arm over the back of your left ear, palm
facing the floor. Stretch from your left heel through your left fingertips,
lengthening the entire left side of your body. Turn your head to look at the
left arm. Release your right shoulder away from the ear. Try to create as much
length along the right side of your torso as you do along the left.
As you continue to ground your left heel to the floor, exhale and
lay the right side of your torso down onto (or bring it as close as possible
to) the top of the right thigh. Press your right fingertips (or palm) on the
floor just outside of your right foot. Actively push the right knee back
against the inner arm; counter this by burrowing your tail bone into the back
of your pelvis, toward the pubis. The inside of your right thigh should be
parallel with the long edge of your sticky mat.
Stay for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Inhale to come up. Push both
heels strongly into the floor and reach the left arm forcefully toward the
ceiling to lighten the upward movement. Reverse the feet and repeat for the
same length of time to the left. Then come up and return to Tadasana.

I Wandered Lonely As
A Cloud by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
