Detail Utthita Parshvakonasany

Utthita Parshvakonasana - "straight side corner. This position belongs to a variety of "standing" asanas with an assault, when one leg is straight and the other - toward which, indeed, do the exercise - is bent at right angles. In this upper part of thigh is strictly parallel to the floor, and the section legs from knee to ankle - perpendicular. Situation feet - standart. 

The trunk leans in the direction of attack, as if the same name lying sideways on the floor parallel to the surface of the thigh. Both blades are again leaning against a vertical surface, ie, chest plane deployed in the legs. Lower arm rests on the floor with his hand or fingers, being established outside of the foot, but not near the inner side of the foot. Bock, more or less regard to the legs of the same name, but in fact the degree of this contact depends on the length of hands, which have all individually. 

Attacks in this Asana, we must maintain an effort thigh bent legs. Those who have good joints and a good stretch the potential to evade the necessary work in this position, and they are carrying out an attack, fail, settle at the hip to the knee of an acute angle. This scheme is very similar to the posture required, but only for an inexperienced look. 

Muscles of the thigh legs, which is located in the attacks, while switched off, they generally stop working, the body "hangs" in the knee joint. Is a mistake. "Standing" postures are not in order to escape from the payload, but rather - to find the maximum force offered by this form and remain in it, completely disabling the nervous component of physical effort and the muscles that are in the process do not participate. 

In asanas, performed with an assault, there is one small, but sensible stratagem, which told during the seminar in Moscow in the late eighties Faek Biria. To load the muscles bent his legs felt so strongly and does not violate a state of consciousness, it is necessary to comply with the so-called "Hinch". If we have a look at the foot resting on the floor free legs, then it is obvious: where there is growth, more to the inner side markedly favor tendon, which then goes up on the tibia. "Hinch" - part of the tendon, its interval from the end of the lifting of the foot to the place where the leg becomes purely vertical. Actually, "Hinch" or "Inch" is nothing like "inch", which is about three centimeters in length referred to a segment of the tendon. 

And if we are to some tension up from the floor toe, then this section of the tendon is strained, as if becoming the "iron". Job thigh bent legs ceases to be felt, and then, subject to the "Hinch" may hold the asana with an assault and how to be completely effortless. But this does not mean that they disappeared and no longer affect the body and perception. If using "Hinch", overexposing asana, in which there is an attack, do not even get a sense of the breath go astray after you complete the pose, already at rest, so to use the technique to be mentioned is reasonable. 

A hand placed on top, pulled out and also with the wall along with the same name by the upper shoulder blade, is both a continuation of the line of the upper side. Should be turning his head up from under the hand to contemplate the ceiling. When I say "look at the ceiling or on the thumb, which is at the top" - this does not mean that we should go there to stare at whatever cost, twisting his neck and eyes, which, by the way, if possible, better to close. You just need to observe the position of the head with a rotation of its extent available, without appreciable voltage 

Contraindications to this position there but overall, contained in the chapter on "Asana". The effect is the same as that of the "triangle", with the only difference that the change ranges of the joints. Reverse the same version of this exercise gives an unforgettable experience for beginners and is called Parivritta Parsvakonasana - "flip-side angle posture".
