Revolved Side Angle Pose A standing lunge with a deep twist of the torso toward the bent front leg, creating a spiral shape through the spine and hips. It is commonly included in standing sequences as a preparatory or peak pose to enhance spinal mobility and balance. This pose belongs to the twisted lunge family, practiced on both sides, and is often preceded by crescent or runner’s lunge variations. Known by several names, including parivrtta anjaneyasana and parivrtta parsvakonasana in Sanskrit, it integrates elements of side angle and crescent poses.
