In this Pose of the Week, Darren Rhodes demonstrates Compass Pose or Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana. This challenging pose is a great hip-opener, sidebend and twist. It is also an intense hamstring stretch and shoulder opener. If your hamstrings are tight, we encourage you to have a slight bend in the knee or to use a strap.
