Triangle pose is very beneficial, and it’s one of the first poses I teach my students. It’s also one of my favorites.

Here are some of the benefits of triangle pose:

• It relieves indigestion, gastritis, acidity, flatulence, and other digestive issues.
• Strengthens the neck muscles
• It relieves back aches
• Tones the waist and hips
• Stretches the muscles in your torso
• Strengthens ankles
• Tones shoulder and arm muscles

Tips for beginner yogis:

• Hold this pose for at least 5 breaths per side
• For stability, look down
• To work on balance, look up towards the top hand
• Rotate the torso open by rotating the top shoulder back
• To exit this pose, lift the torso first

Triangle pose is a great pose to try during a break if you work at a desk. Let me know in the comments below where you’ve done this pose, and I’ll catch you on my next post!
