This is a powerful pose, and as I have mentioned with other similar standing poses, it can bring power and strength into not only the body but also the mind.
Utthita Parsvakonasana is our pose of the day, in english we refer to it as extended side angle. When I first did this pose I was very challenged by it. Similar in some ways to warrior 2 as it strengthens and works strongly into the legs, knees, and ankles, it also provides a deep stretch into the legs. Often just referred to as parsvakonasana, It also works the upper body strengthening the arms and opening the shoulders. This pose also provides some opening into the heart or backhanding shape, and also helps to open up the sides of the body from ankles to wrists.
