A twisting asana, Parivritta Parshvakonasana (reversed side angle pose), is obtained by reversing the direction of turn of the thorax. [6] The opposite elbow is brought to the forward knee; this is a useful preparatory pose.
A single asana is listed for each main pose, whether or not there are variations. Thus for Sirsasana (Yoga headstand), only one pose is illustrated, although the pose can be varied by moving the legs apart sideways or front-and-back, by lowering one leg to the floor, by folding the legs into lotus posture, by turning the hips to one side, by placing the hands differently on the ground, and so on.
