Triangle pose - Movement

Also known as: Utthita Trikonasana.

Technique

From a standing position, separate the feet wider than shoulder width.
Turn the right foot outward 90 degrees, and the left foot in slightly.
Reach the arms out to the sides from the shoulders, palms facing down.
Exhale and hinge at the right hip to take the right hand to the big toe.
Reach the left arm straight up creating a straight line from the right wrist to the left wrist.
Look up toward the left hand. Hold for 5 breaths.
To switch sides, inhale to stand up, turn the feet to face the opposite way, and exhale to take the left hand to the toe, looking up at the right hand.

Keep the chest and hips facing front as much as possible. Avoid letting the chest drop toward the floor by keeping the legs active and rotating the hips externally.
Foot alignment should be front heel to arch of the back foot. If balance is tricky, adjust the stance to have the heels in alignment with each other.
