How Do You Do An Iyengar Triangle Pose Properly?
The Iyengar Triangle pose has so many wonderful benefits. It releases the hips and spinal column, relieving back pain and improving digestion and elimination. The Triangle even strengthens the neck by making the muscles work to keep the head aligned while it’s in a horizontal position. Start with a wide stance and your feet facing forward, about a leg’s length apart, and the arms extended horizontally to the sides. Pivot your left toes inward 45 degrees and your right toes outward 90 degrees. On the exhale, reach your right arm as far to the right as you can without bending your knees. When you have reached as far as possible, reach your hand to your toes. The left shoulder should be stacked on top of your right shoulder as you open the chest, reaching the left fingertips upwards while keeping the right shoulder rooted. Gaze up at your figure tips. Feel your hips open and continue to breath deeply. Hold for five breaths and then switch to the other side.
