Yoga: Triangle Pose

1. Form a "triangle" between your legs by taking a wide stance with feet in the shape of a capital "T".

2. Bend sideways at waist.

3. Reach bottom hand down to knee, shin, or ankle if you can get that low.

4. Rotate top arm straight up over shoulder.

5. Slowly rotate head up towards sky.

6. Pull your top shoulder backwards as you open up your chest and low back.

7. You're there baby!  Now just breath and enjoy...

Tips: If you only have time for one yoga pose try the Triangle for a ten count then switch feet the other way and count to ten again...breath and relax...then float away...

• This pose hits numerous joints across the whole body.  If you're tight, just limit your depth.  Put good effort into pulling that top shoulder back while rotating your upper body.  The Triangle Pose feels great and is a wonderful way to finish a workout.

*Note: This exercise is intended for "normal healthy" individuals.  If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
