Revolved Triangle Pose Parivrtta Trikonasana 1. Depending on body, set feet 3-4 ft apart. Heels in line-back foot angled about 45 degrees with toes forward, front foot directly forward. 2. Straighten front leg, plant feet strong by peeling toes up off ground, straighten hips to be in line with front foot. 3. Inhale hands over head, exhale lower half way with arms to a T. Inhale at this half way position and find grounding in feet and belly. 4. Exhale and twist to the opposite side, allowing the hand to come toward the outside of the calf or foot. 5. Allow yourself to do as many breath cycles as you can here. Twisting deeper on the exhales and reaching long through the spine on the inhales. Try to keep hips level to one another. ***staying fully engaged through the legs by peeling the toes off of the ground allows for a very active stretch for the IT band. Tight IT bands have been linked to knee pain, hip pain, and back pain. Actively stretching this area of the body may provide relief.**** Allow yourself to explore each transition into the pose. Feel how your legs and hips rotate. Notice how when you sync your breath in these transitions there becomes greater ease. Move slowly. Move lovely. #yoga #slowdown #practicedaily
