How to Do a Relaxing Triangle Yoga Pose
Triangle pose strengthens and stretches the abs and the inner thighs. To get in to the basic posture, you’re just going to step your feet wide so they’re about 3-feet apart, life your arms up to shoulder height. Now turn the right toes in slightly and then rotate the left leg out from the hip so that it’s facing directly to this side.
Starting from here, you’re going to shift so that your right hip draws back and your left finger tips reach forward. This will bring your torso down to the side, let your left hand rest on the left calf and extend the right arm up towards the ceiling. That’s the basic triangle, to make it a little bit more energizing, we increase the challenge by wrapping that right hand around the back of the waist, bring it to rest on the upper part of the left thigh. Engage your abdominals—this one’s going to take a little bit of extra abs strength.
We are going to lift that left hand up and try and keep it lifted for as long as you can. Or if you wanted to make the post a little bit more relaxing just grab a chair. You are going to start out the same way, stepping the feet wide and bring one foot so that it is right next to or underneath the chair.
Again, turn the right toes in and the left toes out, arms up and as you glide over to bend, bring that hand to rest on the seat of the chair, right arm continues up towards the ceiling. The chair gives you a little bit of extra stability. It will make a little easier to hold the pose. Hold them as a variation of triangle you do for about 60 seconds, and try it to the other side.
