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 🙂
Trikonasana or Triangle Yoga Pose
Trikonasana gives you a good lateral stretch, engages 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, to 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. 🙂

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 🙁 And now it has been so long since I did any Yoga.
