Revolved Triangle Pose

Parivrtta Trikonasana

Revolved Triangle Pose is a standing twist over a straight front leg, placing the opposite hand to the floor and reaching the other arm to the sky. It challenges balance and hamstring flexibility while rotating the spine. Squaring the hips before revolving keeps the twist clean.

Benefits
