Parivrtta Trikonasana / Revolved

Triangle Pose

From Parsvottanasana (without the block) with the left

leg in front, bring the right hand to the outside of the left

foot. Slowly turn the torso to face the left and on exhale,

extend the left arm up. Look to the left or if balance is not a

challenge, look towards the left arm.

Before trying Parivrtta Baddha Trikonasana, it is recommended

to practice the below to have a better understanding of the

movements   required    in  the final   pose.

steps

1. From Tadasana with hands on the waist,
   step the left foot forward. The front foot
   points forward while the back foot is
   turned outwards, about 45 degrees to the
   right. Keep both legs straight.
   2. Bend the front knee while
   keeping the back straight.


2. Inhale and raise the right
   arm; on exhale, twist to the
   left and lock the right elbow
   against the left thigh.


3. Slide the right forearm under the thigh; the left hand reaches
   back to hold the right hand or forearm. Once the grip is stable,
   straighten the left knee.
