How to do Trikonasana Pose (Triangle Pose)

As there are many benefits of doing Trikonasana, the asana must be performed with proper technique to avoid any injuries. Here are some tips for doing the Triangle Pose –

First you should stand with feet as far apart as possible and raise both arms. Arms will be straight.
Then rotate both legs to the right and the gaze should be forward. Then the upper part of the body should be slowly bent to the right. Both hands will be straight.
The right hand should touch the heel of the right foot. At first it will be difficult to touch the heel of the first foot. Instead you should touch the knee of the left and look at the middle fingers of the left hand.
This should be kept for at least 30 seconds. Holding for 30 seconds at first may be difficult. That’s why you have to hold on as long as you can.
Then, the upper part of the body should be slowly raised upwards.
Then the same approach will be adopted for the left side.

Trikonasana resembles a triangle and is known to stretch the muscles and improve the regular bodily functions. Unlike most yoga postures, it requires keeping the eyes open to maintain body balance.
