- Alexandra Dana
Asana of the week: Triangle ( Trikonasana)
Stand upright
Bring your feet a little more than shoulder width apart
Turn the right foot to the right side
Inhale and stretch your arms sideways, raised at shoulder level
Exhale and bend your body to the right, keeping arms in line: right hand on the right leg, arms in line, left hand up ( You can also slightly bend the right knee)
Look up at the left hand
Hold pose for a few seconds, breathe normal
Inhale and return to standing position, with arms still stretched in a straight line
Exhale and release arms
Repeat for the left side
:)Yogi pro tip: Take care not to bring the body forward when bending to the side
Don't push yourself, bend just as much as it is comfortable for you
Benefits of the pose: Gives a stretch to the spine and muscles on both sides
Tones spinal nerves and abdominal organs
Massages liver and spleen
Promotes hip and leg flexibility
Energizes general circulation in the body
