Triangle Pose - Trikonasana Is the Yoga Pose of the Week

In a recent class, my teacher asked for requests. Usually, in this situation, I'll ask for a difficult pose that I want to work on, so I was surprised to hear myself pipe up with the first thing that popped into my head: triangle pose. Triangle has been feeling particularly good to me lately, with its hamstring-stretching, side-stretching, shoulder-opening goodness. On that day, it was just what I needed to do.
