Triangle Pose: Finding Stability in Expansion
Triangle Pose (Trikonasana) asks you to do two opposite things simultaneously: ground down AND reach out, stay stable AND expand. In the yoga tradition, the triangle represents the trinity—past, present, future—and the balance point between stability and expansion.
The key to Triangle Pose alignment that most people miss? Press through the outer edge of your back foot. This activates your back leg, levels your hips, and creates the foundation you need to expand without toppling over. Both legs work equally—your back leg is your anchor.
Reach forward first with your front hand, not down. Keep your spine long and side body extended. Your bottom hand just rests wherever it lands—shin, block, or floor. If you're pressing hard to hold yourself up, you've gone too far.
Triangle teaches your nervous system how to stay grounded while expanding, how to reach in multiple directions without losing your center. Includes modifications for tight hamstrings, finding stability in the pose and more.
