⭐️Stretch Out In Triangle⭐️
👍Benefits of Triangle:
1. Stretches and strengthens legs, ankles, knees, hips
2. Lubricates and strengthens spine
3.Stimulates function of abdominal organs and improves digestion
4.Relieves stress and increases focus
🚫Common Mistakes:
1. Feet and hands floppy and unengaged
2. Forcing hand to floor, compromising spine, and collapsed side body
3. Forcing gaze to ceiling and taking around ears, chin sticking out, cervical spine compressed
4. Tucking tail bone and thrusting floating ribs.
🤘How to fix triangle:
1) FEET ARE KEY: Root down heavily through the ball of the big toe on your front foot, and from there lengthen up through the inner thigh. Shift front leg hip crease back only as far as you can keep the pressure in the big toe mound. If you really root down through the big toe you will notice your outer hip and glute strengthen. This engagement protects the ankle (I injured my ankle in triangle when I first started practicing) and opens the leg with more integrity and strength.
2) Root back foot into floor, strengthen back inner thigh, and inner spiral inner thigh towards wall behind you.
3) Grab a block and place it under your hand to keep spine long. Without thrusting ribs, tucking tailbone, or throwing head back, gently spiral entire length of the spine open.
4) SIDE BODY LONG: both side bodies should be moving towards the same length. That means that the side body that is facing the floor should be long and extending, not collapsed and short.
This is a good start to triangle!
