– Vinyāsa for Jaṭhara Parivṛtti
“This is a suggestion for a Vinyāsa for approaching and leaving Jaṭhara Parivṛtti.
When lowering from the upward raised legs position use one long exhale,
but through two distinct stages of movement.
The first part of the exhale is to lower the knees over the chest.
The second part of the exhale is used to rotate the trunk into the twist.
The exit is the exact counterpart with one inhale and two stages of movement.
The first part of the inhale brings the knees over the chest.
The second part of the inhale extends the legs upwards.
A suggestion for Bhāvana is to gradually increase the stay.
For example stay one breath each side the first time
and then increase the stay next time to two breaths each side
and finally stay three breaths each side.
As to breathing a suggested ratio of 1.0.1.0. during both movement and stay.”

“Cakra Bhāvana on the Breath within Twisting Āsana…
To present guideline focus points, when exploring the
relationship of Directional Breathing and Directional
Movement within the body in Parivṛtti Āsana.
Illustrated here within Jaṭhara Parivṛtti, as a sensing
of the breath linked to a progressive spiral movement
within the trunk, and felt within the length of the spine.
It is a descending and an ascending Cakra Bhāvana
supporting the length and subtlety of the breath within
the body on both the inhalation and the exhalation.
Here, the Pūraka, or inhalation is felt as if, from the
Viśuddhi Cakra downwards through both the Anahāta
Cakra and the Maṇipūra Cakra, to the Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra.
Whereas the Recaka, or exhalation is felt as if, from the
Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra upwards through both the Maṇipūra
Cakra and the Anahāta Cakra, to the Viśuddhi Cakra.”

“My Āsana study with Desikachar was shaped around forming
a deep appreciation of specific core principles that underpin
the planning and practice of Āsana and their application to
the individual student’s constitution, psychology and need.
Amongst these dozen or so core principles,
the first group when looking at any Āsana in depth,
were the concepts of Nāma, Rūpa and Lakṣaṇa, or the
name, form and characteristics of that particular Āsana.
Obviously, the Nāma is a useful tag point for identification
and the Rūpa is vital as a reference point for the Sat Viniyoga,
or right application of the Āsana within overall considerations of
initial direction and outcomes through such as the Śikṣaṇa Krama,
Rakṣaṇa Krama or Cikitsā Krama application of the forms used.
However, I do feel these days that our understanding in Āsana
practice is more dominated by the Nāma and the Rūpa with
little emphasis on the Lakṣaṇa or inherent characteristics of the
Āsana and how understanding this aspect can have a profound
effect on the approach, application and outcome of the overall or
accumulative impact of the Āsana within the student’s practice.
The teachings of Krishnamacharya around Āsana included
an in-depth appreciation of the Lakṣaṇa, especially around
the thirty or so primary and secondary support Āsana such as
Uttānāsana, Jaṭhara Parivṛtti, Bhujaṅgāsana or Januśīrṣāsana.”
