Side Angle Stretch Posture is a deceptively challenging posture, and here I have you place your hand on block so that you can experience the basic actions of the pose. Focus on creating a continuous ascending diagonal line from the back leg foot, back thigh, pelvis, torso, and up through the top arm, hand, and fingers. To make this line straight and true is difficult to do, that is the main reason for this modification. To bring alignment to this shape will test your powers of concentration and ask you to develop fine kinesthetic, perceptual sensitivity, seek to carefully arrange the various parts of your skeleton properly in relation to one another.
