Reverse Triangle Pose FAQs
Will the pose help improve my breathing?
Yes. Reverse Triangle Pose opens the chest for improved breathing. The deep stretch of the torso from the lower abdomen encourages the opening of the chest which improves breathing.
Will the pose improve my core muscles?
Yes. Reverse Triangle Pose will engage and sculpt your core muscles.
Will the pose strengthen my legs?
Yes. Reverse Triangle Pose will strengthen your legs. The deep stretching of the legs, while the feet are apart, activates the hamstrings, calves, and quadriceps which strengthens the entire leg.
Will the pose prevent back injury?
Yes. Reverse Triangle Pose engages the back and reduces the stress at the lumbar region. The backend reduces stiffness around the lumbar and lower-back region making the muscles more flexible.
Will the pose improve spinal flexibility?
Yes. Reverse Triangle Pose improves the flexibility of the spine: The neck, shoulders, middle back, lower back and hips flex while balancing in the pose, which increases spinal flexibility.
Will the pose improve my balance?
Yes. Reverse Triangle Pose is a gentle balancing pose. Poses that require balance help to improve focus, and energizes the mind and body.
