Supported extended side angle pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana)

Using two chairs.

To set up for the pose, place two chairs on your yoga mat, one next to the other.

Sit on the left chair, place your right forearm and palm on the seat of the right chair, and lean into them.

Turn your right leg out to the right and bend the right knee.

Use your other arm to hold on to the back of the first chair.

“That opens the chest, gets the kidneys working, releases the pressure of the liver, and stimulates the transverse colon and the descending colon.” Repeat the pose on the other side.
