The Yoga Triangle pose is a simple pose that you start doing standing up. There is no complicated twisting and bending involved. You start by standing in the Mountain pose with your spine erect and feet together and breathe slowly and consciously.
Spread your feet apart with a shoulder’s length of distance between them. You can spread your feet by shuffling them away from each other or jumping up to spread them apart with one move.
Lift your arms to the level of your shoulders with your palms facing down. Keep your arms parallel to the floor and ensure that the outside edges of your feet are parallel to each other and your feet are pointing forward as in the normal standing posture.
Stiffen your buttocks and the muscles of your legs. Turn your right foot to point to your right, away from you. Ensure that your right heel is aligned in a straight line with your left ankle. This alignment gives you a stable base when you do the following steps.
Inhale, and as you exhale bend down to your right side and rest your right palm on your right shin. Lift your left arm and align it vertically with your right arm which is rests on your right shin. When you are in this position, keep your thighs firm to enable you to stabilize in this position.
Inhale, and as you exhale turn your head to face up to the ceiling. Breathe easy and pause at this stage for between three to five minutes and then emerge from this pose.
You may repeat these steps, by bending towards your left. When you do this, turn your left foot to point to your left, away from you, while your right foot points forward in your normal standing position.
Doing this pose, nourishes your hips and lower back, and also your legs. It also makes your hips supple.
