A triangle pose tutorial with Rudy Mettia. To perform safely:
- align the right heel with the left foot, firm your things and turn your right thigh outwards
- while exhaling extend your torso over the plane of the forward leg
- keep both sides of the torso equally long as you lengthen out towards the back heel
- rest the hand closest to the floor on your shin foot or block whilst breathing deep and free
- keeping the head in a neutral position reach up towards the ceiling – if your neck permits you may gaze upwards
This pose will help:
- stretch the legs and muscles around the knee
- strengthen the legs, knees, ankles, obliques, back, and abdominals
- improve digestion
- alleviate back pain
- stimulate the abdominal organs
Since this is a standing pose it also calls on the body’s balance. Have fun exploring this pose but make sure you enter in and out of it with grace and caution.
