How was everyones weekend? Were approaching the final week of the pose guide. Hope you all have learned a lot and are getting excited for my e-book. Triangle Pose Target areas: Adductors, hamstrings, obliques, side body, shoulders Practical benefits: Reduce the risk of tearing or pulling a hamstring, increase the range of motion of your legs to improve kicking power and increase speed. Technique: 1. Front foot facing forward, front leg muscles flexed, knee slightly bent. 2. Back foot about two and a half feet behind front foot, toes facing sideways at an eighty degree angle (just acute of ninety degrees) to the front foot. 3. Back leg straight, thigh engaged. 4. Hips, chest, and shoulders facing sideways, shoulders stacked directly over hips. 5. Hips shift backwards, front hip slightly under back hip to stretch the inner front thigh. 6. Bring the outside of the front hand to the inside of the front ankle. 7. Extend the back hand straight up, forming a straight line from fingertips to fingertips. Hold for 30 - 60 seconds. Tips: Bend your front knee as much as necessary to allow you to reach your ankle. Squeeze your legs toward one another to prevent your leg muscles from relaxing. Do NOT lock out your front knee.
