Both shoulders come out of the body so the deltoid and scapula are stretching. The elbow should not go below the knee. The weight should be distributed evenly over the whole foot. The whole torso should be stretching out in a forty-five degree angle like a canon, in line with the straight leg, and arms should be up and down perpendicular to the floor.

• Works 100% of the muscular system all at once
• Good for thyroid, kidneys and adrenal glands
• Helps reduce overproduction of cortisol, the stress hormone.

During the Triangle posture, the lower portion of the body becomes a solid base with upper body twisting. This creates a cardiovascular benefit with very little movement.

 This is the most important pose to increase the strength and flexibility of the hip joint. You must sit down all of the way to get the benefit. 

Triangle also firms upper thighs and hip, slims the waistline, and improves the deltoid, trapezius, scapula, and latissimus muscles. This posture exercises the circulatory, digestive, immune, reproductive and muscular systems all at the same time.
