Which twist is performed on Exhale Parivrtta Utkatasana?

• A. Half Bound Twist to the left
• B. Revolved Triangle Pose
• C. Prayer Twist to the right (2-3B)
• D. Bound Extended Side Angle

Answer: (C)

Exhale Parivrtta Utkatasana twists from a chair pose to the right with hands in prayer at the heart. This specific variation—Prayer Twist to the right (2-3B)—pairs the exhale-driven rotation with a centered, grounded pose, encouraging a long spine, engaged core, and a gentle elbow press into the inner thigh to deepen the twist without compromising the lower back. The name itself signals the hand position and direction of the twist, making it the best fit for this variation. Other twists pictured, such as a left half-bound twist, a revolved triangle, or a bound extended side angle, involve different bind shapes or different pose families and do not align with this exhale chair twist.
