This practice focuses on the technique and preparation for the twisted arm balances - Parsva Bakasana (Side Crow), Eka Pada Koundinyasana 1 (Twisted Scissor Leg, named after the sage Koundinya) and Dwi Pada Koundinyasana (double leg). We are doing all three because the setup is the same, and playing with changing the leg variations is a good way to challenge (and so it follows to increase) stability in the structure.
