Tri: Three – Kona: Angle – Asana: Posture

Trikonasana, also known as triangle posture, is a posture which stretches and strengthens the legs and trunk area

From Tadasana jump or step your feet 4 feet or one leg distance apart. *Always remember that every physical body is different and each person is different in their practice of yoga asanas, so there is no fixed distance for standing sequences
Keep your feet parallel with your toes in one line and lift arms up in line with the shoulders
Move the heel of the left foot in by 45 degrees and toes out 90 degrees
Press the outer heel of the right foot firmly
Left heel should be in line with the center of the arch of the right foot
Press the big toe of the left foot and the outer heel of the right foot firmly
Both feet should maintain their arches
With an inhale lift the left arm up
Lift and lengthen the left side of the trunk
With an exhalation, move the trunk over the left leg by initiating this movement from the hips and not from the ribs
Rest the left hand on the shin / ankle / or on the floor according to mobility and strength in the hips and hamstrings
Lengthen the trunk to the left side more and press the back leg firmly
Push left buttock into the body and open up the rib cage by moving the shoulders and arms away from each other
Rotate the rib cage to the ceiling and lookup straight / or down, according to neck condition
Weight of the trunk is not surrendered down, rather kept in control

Use a block underneath the lower hand if it doesn’t reach down
Use a block under the calf for hyperextension
Use chair / wall to lengthen the spine and trunk
Use heel to toe alignment to open groins
In case of a weak heart use the wall to support body weight
In case of recovery from trauma do Trikonasana with the wall
Use a tilted block against the wall to open the inner groin
Use the rope on the wall to open the rib cage and to build strength in the torso
Use the corner to open the rib cage to enhance breathing
Use the heavy block in the upper arm to stimulate scapular movement
* There are so many variations in Trikonasana and these variations have to be used for creating different stimulating work in weak and stiff areas
