Parivrtta trikonasana is believed to activate the svadisthana (spleen or sacral) chakra. By energizing this chakra, the pose opens the practitioner to creativity, pleasure, and feelings of self-worth and joy. It ignites passion, stokes the digestive fire, and can even help awaken kundalini. – Yogapedia, Parivrtta Trikonasana
