How to do Revolved Abdomen Pose
Read all of it before starting, and read the cautions further down before starting at all.
Lie on your back with the arms stretched wide at shoulder height, palms down.
Draw both knees in and then extend the legs towards the ceiling, or keep them bent to start.
Lower both legs together slowly to the right, stopping well before the left shoulder lifts.
Use the left obliques to carry the legs back up to centre rather than swinging them.
Repeat to the left, and work in slow controlled rounds rather than a long hold.
Hold: 6–10 slow rounds each side. Keep the breath moving throughout — if you are holding it, the pose is too much for today.
Muscles worked
Where the effort and the lengthening land. Primary groups do most of the work; secondary groups assist or are stretched.
What Revolved Abdomen Pose does
Described mechanically — what the movement does to muscle and joint. Not a list of conditions it treats, because a pose does not treat conditions.
- Loads the obliques eccentrically as the legs lower and concentrically as they return.
- Rotates the lumbar and thoracic spine against the weight of both legs.
- Demands that the shoulders stay pinned while the pelvis turns away from them.
Revolved Abdomen Pose is one of 25 twists in this library and one of 60 poses rated intermediate. Poses that rotate the spine around its long axis with the pelvis anchored.
Who should skip Revolved Abdomen Pose, or change it
- Pregnancy — the loaded abdominal rotation is not appropriate.
- Disc injury or any low back condition; this is one of the most demanding twists on the lumbar spine.
- Sacroiliac instability.
- Recent abdominal surgery, hernia, or separated abdominal muscles after birth.
- Neck strain — keep the head centred rather than turning it.
General information only — not medical advice. Some asanas are unsuitable during pregnancy, injury or specific conditions. Learn from a qualified teacher and stop if anything hurts. If you are pregnant, recovering from surgery or managing any health condition, ask your doctor before starting a practice, and learn the pose itself from a qualified teacher who can see you move.
Common mistakes in Revolved Abdomen Pose
What tends to go wrong, and the specific correction — not "engage your core".
MistakeLetting the legs fall fast so momentum does the work.
FixLower over four or five slow counts and stop the moment control goes.
MistakeOpposite shoulder peeling off the floor to gain range.
FixBend the knees and lower less far; the shoulder staying down defines your range.
How the energy figure on a yoga timetable is reached
- Nobody has measured a single asana in a metabolic cart, so no per-pose figure is published here — not by this site and not by anyone.
- The pose is matched to the nearest style of practice in the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. Revolved Abdomen Pose sits at code 02150, yoga, Hatha, 2.5 MET.
- That MET value is put through the standard ACSM relationship for a stated reference adult of 70 kg.

Asked before class
How do you do Revolved Abdomen Pose?
Lie on your back with the arms stretched wide at shoulder height, palms down. Draw both knees in and then extend the legs towards the ceiling, or keep them bent to start. Lower both legs together slowly to the right, stopping well before the left shoulder lifts. Use the left obliques to carry the legs back up to centre rather than swinging them. Repeat to the left, and work in slow controlled rounds rather than a long hold. Hold for 6–10 slow rounds each side.
What does Revolved Abdomen Pose work?
Primarily the obliques, abdominals, hip flexors, with the spinal erectors, chest, shoulders assisting or lengthening. In mechanical terms: loads the obliques eccentrically as the legs lower and concentrically as they return.
Who should not do Revolved Abdomen Pose?
Pregnancy — the loaded abdominal rotation is not appropriate. Disc injury or any low back condition; this is one of the most demanding twists on the lumbar spine. Sacroiliac instability. Recent abdominal surgery, hernia, or separated abdominal muscles after birth. Neck strain — keep the head centred rather than turning it. This is general information, not medical advice — if any of these apply to you, ask your doctor and learn the pose with a qualified teacher rather than from a page.
Is Revolved Abdomen Pose suitable for beginners?
Not as a first pose. Revolved Abdomen Pose is rated intermediate here: it assumes a working base of strength and range, and a teacher who has watched you move. Build up through the twists poses marked beginner first.
How many calories does Revolved Abdomen Pose burn?
The honest answer is that nobody has measured a single asana. The 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities publishes MET values for styles of yoga, not for individual poses. Revolved Abdomen Pose sits closest to Compendium code 02150, yoga, Hatha, at 2.5 MET — about 92 kcal for 30 minutes of that kind of practice for a 70 kg adult. Holding one pose for a minute is a rounding error either way.
