Triangle Pose
Targets shoulders, abs, obliques, butt, and legs
- Stand with feet about 3 feet apart, toes of right foot turned out 90 degrees, left foot 45 degrees; extend arms out to sides at shoulder level palms down.
- Shift body weight over right leg and bend right knee 90 degrees as you side bend to right, chest facing forward, and reach right hand to floor, left arm toward ceiling (left leg remains straight).
- Look up toward ceiling and hold for 20 seconds. Return to start. Switch sides and repeat.
- Repeat again on each side.
This is actually Extended Side Angle. Triangle Pose is done without a bend in the front knee.
