Revolving triangle (parivrtta trikonasana) is a challenging pose, but with the use a block almost anyone can practice this posture.  Try out these simple modifications for revolving triangle.

Modification 1: Stand with feet approximately 3 feet apart from each other. Turn the right foot out to a 90 degree angle so that toes face the short end of the mat. Turn left foot to a 45 degree angle. Turn hips forward to face the short end of the mat. Place block on the inside of right foot. Hinge forward from hips and place left hand on the block. Reach right arm into the air with the palm of the right hand facing away from the body. Turn head and gaze up at ceiling.*  Then repeat the pose on left side.

Revolving triangle has many benefits and it’s well worth trying. Practicing the pose can strengthen the legs, stretch the hips and spine, open the chest for improved breathing, and aid with digestion. The pose even promotes better balance.
