Amazing Read Komal. I personally try to hold on left side more as it is my weaker side to balance both sides🌱

A yoga class has a mix of bilateral and unilateral movement. Bilateral movement shares the resistance between two limbs. Unilateral movement places stress on only one limb. Sometimes we can find that our bodies have an imbalance and that can be due to past injuries or because we have a naturally dominant side.When we move bilaterally our stronger side can compensate by taking on more of the load than the weaker side therefore adding to our imbalance.                                                                                                                  So, by practicing Unilateral poses that challenge one side of your body at a time you prevent muscle imbalances from developing because each side is forced to bear the load independently.                                                                                  Some examples of unilateral asanas would be Side Plank, 1 legged Bridge Pose, (Revolved) Head to Knee Pose and Wild Thing.
