Keep both arms in straight line.<\/li>\n<li>Rest your right hand on your shin, ankle, or the floor outside your right foot, whatever is possible without distorting the sides of the waist. Stretch your left arm toward the ceiling, in line with the tops of your shoulders. Keep your head in a neutral position or turn it to the left, eyes gazing softly at the left palm.<\/li>\n<li>Ascertain that your body is bent sideways and not backward or forward. Pelvis and chest are wide open.<\/li>\n<li>Stretch maximum and be steady. Keep taking in long deep breaths. With each exhalation, relax the body more and more. Just be with the body and the breath.<\/li>\n<li>As you inhale, come up, bring your arms down to your sides, and straighten your feet.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat the same on the other side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Benefits of the Triangle Pose (Trikonasana)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"List\">\n<li>Strengthens the legs, knees, ankles, arms, and chest<\/li>\n<li>Stretches and opens the hips, groins, hamstrings, and calves; shoulders, chest, and spine<\/li>\n<li>Increases mental and physical equilibrium<\/li>\n<li>Helps improve digestion<\/li>\n<li>Reduces anxiety, stress, back pain and sciatica.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Trikona \u2013 Triangle; Asana \u2013 Pose<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The asana is pronounced as Tree-kone-ahs-ana<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Unlike most yoga postures, the Triangle Pose requires keeping the eyes open in order &#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/worldpeaceyogaschool.com\/blog\/benefits-of-the-triangle-pose\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":136,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[29,30],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Benefits of the Triangle Pose - World Peace Yoga School<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldpeaceyogaschool.com\/blog\/benefits-of-the-triangle-pose\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Benefits of the Triangle Pose - World Peace Yoga School\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&nbsp; Trikona \u2013 Triangle; Asana \u2013 Pose The asana is pronounced as Tree-kone-ahs-ana Unlike most yoga postures, the Triangle Pose requires keeping the eyes open in order ...
