Enjoy our latest post by Dr. Robin Armstrong reviewing the applications, techniques, and cautions when doing Utthita Trikonasana (Triangle Pose). This classical Hatha Yoga posture offers many benefits:
* Expands chest and shoulders
* Increases mobility of hip joints
* Increases neck mobility
* Stretches spinal muscles
* Strengthens and tones muscles of the thighs
* Stretches calf muscles, hamstrings, hip musculature
* Increases proprioception (sense of position in space) of feet and ankles

is a very good pose yoga at home
this exercise is even beneficial in weight reduction as it is a kind of stretching exercise which is followed in the initial learning stage of yoga.
In reading your June 10th blog post, I read the benefits of a well executed Utthita Trikonasana (Triangle Pose). and i think to myself, “well, yeah, if it is done properly.” Then i see the link to “correctly performing” the said pose. I would think that THAT should be the more important information, as i have seen hundreds of practitioners butcher the posture to the point of bodily harm. Just a thought.
P.S. I can’t figure out what the comment #1 has to do with your blog post, but whatever.
