Triangle pose is one of my favourites. It’s a great way to stretch the sides of your upper body and shoulders, while secretly working on your balance and leg strength.
- Start in a lunge with your left foot forward.
- Turn your back right heel in and down to the floor.
- Bring your left hand on to you shin.
- Press your front left leg straight without locking the knee.
- Bring your right hand to your right hip or if it’s ok for your shoulder, reach up to the sky.
- Press in to your front big toe and back heel.
- Find a long spine.
- You can also take your left hand off your ankle to hover and challenge your balance.
- Be sure to switch to the other side.
