Trikonasana

Trikonasana (tri-cone-ah-sa-na), or Triangle Pose, is an important position in hatha yoga. The position is then sometimes repeated, but with the right and left sides swapped. Also, the body is sometimes allowed to come to rest at a star shape instead of at a rest position, or the position is practised so that one hand is touching the floor instead of parallel to the ground.

The Trikonasana stimulates blood flow to the head, and helps to stretch and relax the back, shoulders, legs and arms. The muscles of the thighs, calves and hamstrings are stretched. A slight twist of the spine is involved.
