Triangle Pose (Trikonasana):

Triangle pose or Utthita Trikonasana in Sanskrit, Utthita means extended and trikona means three angle or triangle. When in proper alignment, Triangle Pose allows your hips to open up, giving you a sense of freedom and beauty in the body.

To gain maximum benefits of Trikonasana, always practice the asana with an empty stomach and bowel. The best time to practice trikonasana is in morning. Although you can practice this in evening as well, making sure there is a gap of at least five to six hours between the practice and meal. This asana gives a good stretch to ankles, shoulders, thighs, groins, knees, calves, thorax, vertebral column and hamstrings.
