Yoga Triangle Pose for Athletes

Starting from your Tadasana, you can step your left foot back, your right foot is forward. So Triangle Pose is a hip opener. It's also a nice extension for your spine. So you want to try to keep the sides of your body long. You're going to actively use your quadriceps muscles, lifting the top of your knees, you connect to the soul of your front foot. Inhale. As you exhale, hinge your front hip under. Keep all this length on the underside of your body as you extend forward, opening up your chest, arms drawing apart in both directions. Try to actively draw your shoulder blades towards each other on your back. Keep your neck comfortably lengthened. Exhale, pressing your feet down to lift up and you can move to the other side.
