In this instructional monologue, a yoga teacher demonstrates a hands‑on assist for Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle). The teacher explains step‑by‑step hand placement: the assisting leg is guided into the student's hip, the opposite hand is placed lightly on the crease between hip and torso using only fingers (avoiding inappropriate contact with the buttocks), and the other hand is positioned on the shoulder bone. The teacher emphasizes maintaining the assist through the student's inhalation to prevent a fall, highlights the importance of a deep inhale, tail‑bone twist, and lengthening the twist, and concludes with a promotional call‑to‑action for an online “Hands‑On Adjustments and Assists” course.

This is a nice deep juicy assist for Parivrtta Trikonasana or Revolved Triangle. You're gonna take your leg and bring it into their hip. You're gonna bring the opposite hand into the crease between the hip and the torso. Make sure that you just use a nice little bit of finger there instead of grabbing onto their butt, 'cause that's not appropriate in any way. Then you're gonna bring your other hand right onto the shoulder into the bone. You're gonna take a deep inhale, tail and twist. Lengthening twist. How's that feel? Nice, good twist. You're going to need to stay with them as they breathe in their twist because if you were to let go right now, they would fall, and we're not looking to do that at all. You want to learn how to do adjustments and assists, make sure that you check out my online course, Hands-On Adjustments and Assists.
