Triangle Pose - Trikonasana

Triangle pose is a classic standing pose and is one of the first poses taught.

Remember you are bending to the side not forward.  If you cannot get your

hand to the floor, use a block (as in the video below) or a wood block on

stack of foam blocks or a chair seat.  As you progress in the pose, work on

turning the torso into a twist.

   

Below is a YouTube video of Geeta Iyengar teaching triangle pose at at

Conventia Italiana a Montecatini in 2002.
