My theme for this year’s #atozchallenge is – 26 Yogasana. So brace yourself for 26 days of stretching, backbends and inversions, as I take you along my upside down evenings, sincerely hoping that you will find these posts helpful ๐
Trikonasana or Triangle Yoga Pose
Trikonasana gives you a good lateral stretch, engagesย the core and strengthens ankle, knee and thighs. This pose is also known to improve digestion.
I haven’t been able to keep up with my practice this month. On days, when I am short of time I concentrate of doing 15 minutes of stretching. Along with SuryaNamaskar and some gentle yoga asanas, I include this pose too, toย stretch my legs and arms.
As you might already know I am working on my side splits, it is a good practice to stretch my limbs everyday. Sigh! the body can be so stubborn at times. ๐

I’ve never tried Yoga so it’s interesting to read about all these moves and see you doing your Pretzel girl routine. Don’t know if I’ll ever do it but glad you enjoy it and find it relaxing. This one doesn’t look as bad as some of them like when you stand on your head.
I like doing this pose. It is a good stretch. Girl Who Reads
I’ve tried this but I’ve never been able to do it properly ๐ And now it has been so long since I did any Yoga.
When I was a kid and learning to do Trikonasana, the aunty motivated me by saying it will help me grow tall ๐ I know I am flexible but still as tall as I was when I was 12 ๐ Great pose this is for complete lateral stretch.
I do this a lot while stretching and it looks comparatively easier to other poses.
I like doing this one. Although I’m only able to touch my knee, not my foot. But, as you said, the side stretch feels good.
Btw, you’ve disappeared from my blog! ๐
Please come back! It misses you!
I am working towards getting here ๐
It’s amazing how many poses we have in Yoga. Time to try Triangle pose!
Time is the constraint…
Ah, I love this pose, really gives a good stretch! I think the block is great for those who absolutely can’t reach the floor, but for others I think a little challenge makes the pose better!
This one looks easy. I do need a good stretch. Let me try it today. ๐
I feel ridiculously happy when I see some asanas that I can do ๐
I know this one! Daughter keeps practising it in front of me. You’d think that would motivate me, but… argh, I am a lazy bum!
I’m also finding it tough to schedule time for my yoga practice so its been surya namaskars and a few additional asanas. I like this asana too ๐
