    November Pose of the Month: Trikonasana

    November 5, 2014

    ALIGNMENT (do reverse on left side):

     

     

    • From the front of your mat, step to the right and separate your feet 3-4 ft apart.

    • Turn right foot to point at the back of your mat and angle the left foot about 45 degrees towards the back of your mat (heel will be closer to front of mat versus toes).

    • Take deep inhale and extend arms out to the side.

    • While exhaling, keeping your legs straight and engaged, begin to extend your torso over the right leg from your right hip.

    • Rest your right hand down to your shin, ankle, or floor outside your right foot.

    • Extend your left arm up towards the ceiling and gaze towards left hand.  Hold and breath comfortably:)

    • Helpful Tips - Keep your knees aligned in the same direction as your toes. Use of a block can be helpful if hamstring flexibility is limited in the pose.  Work to keep your spine parallel to the floor.
