Trikonasana (Triangle)


Stand up straight with feet about a metre apart. Inhale, stretching out arms at shoulder-level. Adjust feet, so the right foot is aligned with the right arm and flared out fully. The left foot should be slightly flared out. Exhaling, twist at the abdomen, turning towards the right. Reach left arm to the floor, touching right foot. The right arm should remain up in the air. Focus eyes upwards, on the right hand. Hold for a few seconds, breathing normally. Inhale, returning to centre. Repeat thrice. Rest. Repeat entire sequence for the other side.

Benefits: Powers the joints at the knees and hips. Tones arms and legs, works out the spine and improves posture and balance. Boosts digestion.
