Why this one
Triangle is the heart of side-body work — one long line from the back heel through the top fingertips, opening the whole lateral seam while the legs stay strong and grounded.
How to do it
Step your feet wide and turn the front foot out. Reach out over the front leg and lower your bottom hand to the shin or ankle as the top arm reaches straight up. Turn your gaze up to the top hand. Switch sides.
Keep in mind
Reach long out of the waist rather than folding down — keep both sides of the torso equally long.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
