How To Do A Triangle Yoga Pose
Hello, my name is Samantha Raphael on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip I'll be demonstrating Triangle Pose. To begin, step your feet about three to four feet apart, turn your right foot out, make sure your right heel is aligned with your left heel. Lift your chest, drop your shoulders, with a breath in, reach your arms up shoulders length and then as your breath out look over your right middle finger, reach up and over your right leg so your left hip goes out and then as you take an inhale, lengthen over a little bit more, as you exhale take your right hand onto your right leg and just let it slide down as far as you can. When you're ready, with an inhale roll your chest up toward the ceiling, send your gaze to your left middle finger, your left hip lifts up, so you're opening your hip here. If you have any neck issues you can always look down at your right foot. Always be mindful that the right side of your body is in line with your right thigh. Hold here for about five breaths, when you're ready to come out of it, look down at your right foot and then as you breath in come all the way up, turn your right foot in and step to the center.
