Triangle Pose for A Strong Mental and Physical Foundation

Triangle Pose

The Triangle Pose represents a strong mental and physical foundation formed by the two bottom points of the triangle. From here, you can begin looking up to explore the third point - the spiritual.


Practice the Triangle Pose to strengthen your quads, obliques, hip flexors, and shoulders, while stretching your hamstrings and hip adductors.

To achieve this pose, straighten your front leg, reach forward, and then lower your hand to your shin or ankle. Lift your back arm to the sky, opening your chest. Look up, down, or straight ahead, finding a comfortable place for your neck.

In holding the Triangle Pose, press your feet away from each other, keeping a slight bend in your forward knee. Engage your glutes. Breathe length into your spine, allowing your inner strength to fuel your outer strength. Switch sides.
