Triangle Pose - Trikonasana

Triangle Pose helps to open up and stretch your entire body. Especially your lower back, sides, shoulders, hamstrings and calves. It's a great pose to help you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Allow your head to turn and look either straight forward or upward toward your left hand, making sure to keep your head and neck in line with your spine.

Only allow yourself to reach as far down to the right with your right hand as you can. Some may reach down to the lateral lower leg, some to the ankle, and some may be able to place their palm flat on the floor along their instep. As your flexibility improves, you will be able to stretch farther into this position.

Do not to lean down with your weight upon your hand, but merely use it for balance and stability within the pose.
