Trikonasana - Triangle Pose

Trikona - Triangle; Asana - Pose

The asana is pronounced as Tree-kone-nah -sah-nah


Unlike most yoga postures, the Triangle Pose requires keeping the eyes open in order to maintain body balance.

How to do the Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)


1. Stand straight. Separate your feet comfortably wide apart (about 31/2 to 4 feet).
2. Turn your right foot out 90 degrees and left foot in by 15 degrees.
3. Now align the center of your right heel with the center of your arch of left foot.
4. Ensure that your feet are pressing the ground and the weight of your body is equally balanced on both the
feet.
5. Inhale deeply and as you exhale, bend your body to the right, downward from the hips, keeping the waist
straight, allowing your left hand to come up in the air while your right hand comes down towards oor. Keep
both arms in straight line.
6. Rest your right hand on your shin, ankle, or the oor outside your right foot, whatever is possible without
distorting the sides of the waist. Stretch your left arm toward the ceiling, in line with the tops of your
shoulders. Keep your head in a neutral position or turn it to the left, eyes gazing softly at the left palm.
7. Ascertain that your body is bent sideways and not backward or forward. Pelvis and chest are wide open.
8. Stretch maximum and be steady. Keep taking in long deep breaths. With each exhalation, relax the body
more and more. Just be with the body and the breath.
9. As you inhale, come up, bring your arms down to your sides, and straighten your feet.
10. Repeat the same on the other side.

Tips to do Trikonasana
• Make sure you have done a good warm up exercise of the whole body before you do the asana.
