Every month Funky Buddha likes to focus on a different pose; one that shows up in our every day practice and sometimes deserves a little extra attention.
June’s Yoga Pose of the Month is Triangle (Trikonasana).
To get into Triangle Pose from Warrior II, straighten your front knee and reach your bottom hand to the outside of your front foot and bring your top arm up to the sky. You can place your hand on your shin, a block or the floor. Keep your chest open by stacking your arms in one vertical line and see if you can keep your entire body – hips, head and heart – all in one plane.
With every pose comes its own set of benefits. Triangle pose sculpts the legs, hips, butt and creates an overall opening through your chest and back.
As a modification, if it’s hard to keep your torso stacked, use a block under your lower hand or gaze down to collect your balance.
To kick it up a notch, lift your bottom arm parallel with your top arm… try that one on for size (look, Batman’s doing it!).
How do you Triangle pose?
