Asana: Extended Triangle Pose – Uthitta Trikonasana
Brief alignment: Come to the top of the mat. Step the right foot back and spin it in. Open the front foot out so the front heal lines up with the back arch. Hinge in the left hip crease and fold over the extended leg, as you lower your left hand to the shin. Revolve the torso up and line it up with the standing leg. Soften the front ribs, and even the shoulders out, releasing them away from the ears. 
Benefits: Strengthens the legs, stretches the sides of the waist, opens the hips, brings a sense of grounding and stability.
Contraindications: Hip injury
Yogea Asana Lab breaks down your favorite classical poses - guiding you through safe alignment and smooth transitions. It is not a yoga routine, and requires a warm up depending on the complexity of each asana. Each pose is demonstrated only on one side, so please, don’t forget to do it on the other. The idea is to offer some valuable alignment and energetic tips on how to progress from simple to complex asana, while enjoying a safe and pain-free practice.
