What is term Eversion, in asana movement?
- Eversion in yoga refers to the movement of the foot and ankle away from the midline of the body. This movement is used in many yoga asanas (poses) to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the outer ankle and foot.
- For example, in a pose like triangle pose (Trikonasana), eversion is used in the front foot to open up the outer ankle and foot. This can help to stretch and strengthen the muscles in that area and create more stability in the pose.
- In a pose like warrior II (Virabhadrasana II), eversion is used in the back foot to create a strong foundation and ground the pose. This can help to create a stable base and provide balance in the pose.
- Proper alignment and awareness of the body during eversion can help to prevent injury and promote balance and strength throughout the body.
