What Does
Revolved Easy Pose Mean?
Revolved easy pose is a basic seated cross-legged posture with a twist that increases flexibility. To practice this pose, begin in easy pose (seated with the legs crossed and knees out to the sides). Then, with the spine upright, turn the gaze and body to the right or the left.
