How to do Triangle Pose
A beginner standing pose, step by step.
- 1From a wide stance, turn your right foot out 90° and your left foot in slightly.
- 2Extend your arms to shoulder height, then reach actively forward over the front leg.
- 3Tip from the hip and lower your right hand to your shin, a block, or the floor.
- 4Stack your left shoulder over the right and reach the top arm to the sky.
- 5Keep both legs straight and turn your gaze up toward the top hand if it's comfortable.
Alignment tips
- →Reach out and over before you lower down — find length first, then depth.
- →Use a block under the lower hand rather than rounding the spine to reach the floor.
- →Keep a micro-bend available in the front knee; don't lock or hyperextend it.
Common questions about Triangle Pose
What does Trikonasana mean?
Trikonasana comes from tri (three), kona (angle) and asana (pose) — the “three-angle” pose, named for the triangles the legs and torso make.
Should my hand touch the floor in Triangle Pose?
No — getting the hand down matters far less than keeping both sides of the torso long. Rest the lower hand on a block or your shin so the chest can keep opening.
What does Triangle Pose stretch?
It lengthens the hamstrings, groin, hips and side body, opens the chest and shoulders, and strengthens the legs and core.
Why does my back hurt in Triangle Pose?
Usually from folding forward and rounding the spine to reach the floor. Lift the lower hand onto a block, hinge from the hip, and keep the spine long from crown to tailbone.
What sizes does the Triangle Pose print come in?
Three sizes: 8×12" (£19.99), 16×24" (£25.99) and 24×36" (£39.99). Every print ships unframed. Free UK shipping over £60.
