Asana: Your Physical Practice

In exploration of asana (our physical practice experienced through yoga postures/poses), we are able to invite the advantages of proper alignment and depth to engagement into the practice.  Within the member portal, you have access to a library of asanas/postures that have been broken down with alignment and engagement aspects highlighted for the learning yogi in us all.

Revolved Triangle  /  Parivrtta Trikonasana

  • Revolved Triangle pose is a closed-hip, standing posture
  • Press into the ball of the foot on the front leg to activate while also protecting the knee
  • The toes on the back foot angle to face the front corner of the mat (similar to a Warrior 1 stance)
  • Bring the hips to a level position so they are equally distant from the floor (use the sacrum as a guide)
  • With an open chest and elongated spine, we revolve through the length of the spine moving into a position of stacking the shoulders 
  • The top fingertips reach actively skyward.  The core engages intensely to allow this sensation to occur.  
  • The bottom hand rests on a block (still engaging to reach skyward).  Ensure the core is still strongly engaged and we are not dumping weight into the block.
  • Gaze wherever is most comfortable
