Extended Triangle  - Parsvakonasana

Start with legs about 4 feet apart. Hands on the hips. Feeling the weight on the heels and outer edges of your feet. Arches lifting. A strong grounding posture.

Stretch the arms wide, in line with your shoulders, bend the right knee, look down to your knee. Check that your knee is directly above the ankle. Reach out, bend the right elbow and place it on the right knee.

Stretch the left hand up and in to 45 degrees. Go with the feel that the whole of your left side is in a straight line. Wonderful work for the thighs. Increase the stretch by placing the palm on the floor, on the inside of the ankle and continue the stretch.

Repeat the posture on the other side.
