How to: Revolved Triangle Pose
- Start in a standing position with feet wider than hip-width apart.
- Turn your right foot out 90 degrees and your left foot slightly in.
- Extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
- Breathe in, then as you exhale, hinge at your hips to lower your torso over your right leg.
- Place your right hand on the floor or a block, and extend your left arm upwards.
- Gaze upwards to your left hand and maintain the pose while breathing deeply.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the knee of the bent leg fall inwards.
- Not maintaining a flat back when twisting.
- Rushing into the pose without proper alignment.
Modifications
- Use a yoga block under your bottom hand for extra support.
- If unable to twist fully, keep the bottom hand on the thigh instead of the floor.
Tips
- Engage your core to maintain stability while twisting.
- Keep your back straight and avoid hunching over.
- Breathe deeply and open your chest rather than collapsing forward.
