Yoga - Triangle Variation - Women's Fitness

Yoga - Triangle Variation - part of the women's fitness video series by GeoBeats. Today I am going to show you the triangle pose: trikonasana. So, start at a standing position at the center of the mat, and step the legs out to about three and a half to four feet apart. Outstretch the arms in line with the shoulders. Turn the right foot to the right, and also the left foot a little bit, pushing in to the outer edge of the left foot. Shift the hips all the way to the left, and reach down, either toward your leg, or toward the floor. The left arm stretching up. Turn the head to gaze up toward the left thumb. Remain there for five breaths, and then return back to the side position, and go to the other side. So this posture benefits the legs, so the legs get a good stretch, also the side of the body and the spine. It helps to promote grace and steadiness.
