Revolved Triangle Pose
The Revolved Triangle Pose is a great stretch for the spine, shoulders and chest. It also stretches and strengthens the legs, improving your balance. To do this pose:
- start with the Open Triangle pose, then lift your torso slightly and bend to your right, and place your left palm on your mat outside your right foot.
- inhale slowly while raising your right arm straight up, stacking your shoulders, and engaging your core by pulling your belly button in toward your spine.
- hold this position for five deep breaths, then place both hands on either side on your front foot, and press back to Downward Facing Dog.
- Do this pose on your other side and hold for an additional five breaths, before stepping back to Downward Facing Dog.
Do this pose several times, alternating on each side.
