Revolved Side Angle
- Pro
- Intermediate
- Yoga
Revolved side angle is a standing yoga twist built from a lunge stance, rotating the torso against a fixed front leg. It loads the obliques through the twist and stretches the quads and adductors at the same time. Intermediate practitioners use it in yoga, held for time as a warmup, cooldown or recovery flow.

How to

- Press the palms together to deepen the twist, chest open.
- Hold with steady breaths, then switch sides.
Form cues
- Press your back heel down for a stable base.
- Exhale to twist a little deeper each time.
- Keep your hips level, not tilting upward.
Common mistakes
