Bound Triangle Pose (Baddha Trikonasana) has the same benefits as Extended Triangle Pose<\/a> (Utthita Trikonasana), but with the additional benefits of a bind which are:<\/p>\n

Chest Opener:<\/strong> Interlocking of arms behind hips and leg creates a deep stretch of the shoulders, chest, and upper back. This stimulates the heart and the lungs and is a good way to activate the heart chakra.<\/p>\n

Torso Lengthener:<\/strong> When hands are in a bind, the shoulder twist opens the chest and lengthens the torso.<\/p>\n
