Jason Schramm of Detroit Yoga Demonstrating Side Angle Pose/Parsvakonasana.
Side Angle Pose is in almost every Vinyasa class at Detroit Yoga, as well as a very similar variation practiced always in Ashtanga class. A fundamental asana, Parsvakonasana opens the hips and prepares the body for more challenging postures down the road. 

That said,  it's important to set goals, like after polishing up the basics/fundamentals, getting to a more challenging/advanced posture, but as students at DY know, I am a big fan of practicing the basics. If that's all we ever did we'd be in great shape, both physically and mentally. But don't worry, I'll definitely throw more challenges at you!  :)

A few details regarding this variation of  Side Angle Pose pictured here... 
  1. Most beginners with tighter hips will not be able to lunge so low until they invested many hours of practice. Be patient.
  2. If the lunge is higher, then the hand at the floor will also be higher. Perhaps on the finger tips or a yoga block.
  3. Keep the back leg straight and strong. Don't let the knee buckle.
An advanced technique is a basic one that's been mastered.  Keep going.

See you in class!
