Revolved Triangle Pose

1. Begin standing at the top of your mat in a straight, tall position (Mountain Pose).

2. Step your left foot back about three to four feet, keeping a gap of hip-width distance between your feet for stability.

3. Turn your left foot out slightly while keeping your right toes pointing forward.

4. Inhale and extend your arms to the sides parallel to the floor.

5. As you exhale, hinge at your hips and lengthen your torso over your right leg while maintaining a straight back.

6. Place your left hand on the floor, a block, or your shin to the outside of your right foot, whichever is accessible while keeping your torso long.

7. Extend your right arm upward to the ceiling as you open your chest, forming a line with your left arm.

8. Turn your head to gaze up toward your right hand, but do so only if it's comfortable for your neck.

9. Hold the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute, taking care to breathe evenly and rotate the torso while keeping the hips square.

10. To exit the pose, inhale as you press into the floor with your left hand and lift your torso back to a standing position.

11. Repeat on the opposite side for symmetry.

Make sure that throughout this pose, you are mindful of your alignment and breathing, and do not strain or force your body into the position. Use props or modify the pose if necessary for your flexibility and comfort level.
