How to Do the Perfect Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana) - Complete Guide
Want to master Triangle Pose — the essential lateral stretch that strengthens legs and opens the side body? You're in the right place.
Perfect Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana) Technique
Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana) is a fundamental standing pose that creates a strong, stable foundation while stretching the side body. This pose strengthens the legs, opens the hips and chest, and improves balance and concentration. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper leg alignment, spinal extension, and optimal hand placement.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Wide Stance:Step feet 3.5-4 feet apart, turn right foot out 90 degrees, left foot slightly in
- Leg Engagement:Keep both legs straight and strong, press down through feet
- Lateral Extension:Reach right hand toward right foot, hinge from hip joint
- Hand Placement:Place right hand on shin, ankle, or block - avoid putting weight on knee
- Upper Body:Extend left arm toward ceiling, creating long line from fingertips to fingertips
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Placing hand directly on the knee
- Collapsing over the front leg
- Rolling forward instead of opening chest
- Letting front hip drop down
