"Kapinjalasana (Partridge Pose) is a deep backbend that combines hip extension, quad opening, and spinal mobility while asking for balance and focused engagement. The shape builds strength through the back body, opens the front line of the hips and chest, and improves shoulder mobility as the arm reaches back to bind the lifted foot. Energetically, it's an expansive pose that counteracts prolonged sitting and forward-folded postures."
"This time of year, Kapinjalasana is especially supportive because it stimulates circulation, builds heat, and lifts energy when the body and mind can feel heavier or more stagnant. The pose encourages upright posture and breath capacity, helping offset seasonal tension in the hips and chest. Practicing Kapinjalasana now can support resilience, confidence, and a sense of forward momentum as the seasons shift."

A practice sequence provides warm-up postures, sun salutations, a standing series, balance and twists, and a wind down culminating in Kapinjalasana on both sides.
