Trikonasana aka Triangle Pose, is a beautiful yoga asana, or posture, that both stretches and strengthens the entire body.  While no single yoga pose is a substitute for a full practice, if you’re limited on time and looking for one posture that will set you up for having great day, trikonasana might just be your jam. 

All that being said, triangle pose is more than just a shape, it’s a beautiful metaphor. Within the embodied shape is an opportunity to ground into the present moment (think through the legs), fire up our desires and goals (manifested through the core) and a chance to spread our wings (aka arms) and express ourselves.
