Triangle

Stand with feet wide apart (3.5-4 feet). Turn right foot out 90 degrees, left foot slightly in (about 45 degrees). Align heels or right heel to left arch.

Extend arms out to sides at shoulder height, parallel to floor.

Inhale, reach torso far to the right, hinging from the right hip joint (not waist). Keep both sides of torso long.

Exhale, lower right hand to shin, ankle, floor, or a block placed outside (or inside) your right foot. Extend left arm straight up towards the ceiling, stacking shoulders directly over each other.

Keep both legs straight (micro-bend front knee if needed to avoid hyperextension). Engage quadriceps of both legs.

Rotate your chest open towards the ceiling. Gaze can be towards your left thumb, or sideways/down if your neck is sensitive.

Hold for several breaths, pressing firmly through both feet. To exit, inhale, press into feet, engage core, and lift torso upright. Pivot feet to parallel, then repeat on the left side.

Place bottom hand on a yoga block (any height) inside or outside the front foot, or on the shin/ankle.

Keep a micro-bend in the front knee if hamstrings are very tight.

Look down or forward if turning head up strains the neck.

Keep the top hand on the hip for less shoulder effort.

Shorten the stance between the feet.
