<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yoga is a spiritual practice that has its roots in ancient India. It brings about a balance between the body, mind and soul. Over the years, its popularity has skyrocketed, with the western world awakening to its benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though developed as a spiritual discipline, it has more or less been adopted by developed countries as a form of exercise or a way to combat stress. Over the years, different styles or types of Yoga have evolved, which are modified versions of the basic yoga postures. Some of the Yoga types are: Ashtanga or power yoga, Bikram or hot yoga, Hatha yoga, Integral yoga, Iyengar yoga, Kundalini yoga, and Viniyoga ^{1<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
The most popular of all types of Yoga is Hatha Yoga. The origins of Hatha Yoga date back to the 11th century. This type of Yoga stresses a lot of importance on holding the various asanas (body postures) properly while performing the sequence of exercises. Trikonasana is one of the asanas of Hatha Yoga ^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
<\/span>What is Trikonasana?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Trikonasana is a standing posture of the Hatha Yoga type of Yoga. \u2019Tri\u2019 means three and \u2018Kona\u2019 means \u2018corner\u2019. So, trikonasana literally translates to \u2018Three-corners\u2019. It is named so as the final posture resembles a triangle formed by the torso, upper limbs and lower limbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trikonasana mainly focuses on stretching the body sideways. It may help improve spinal flexibility. It may also have the effect of lengthening the leg muscles and reducing stiffness in the legs and hips ^{2<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
