Trikonasana(tri-cone-ah-sa-na) is a position in hatha yoga. The position involves placing the feet apart, and leaning to one side, with the hand over the head.
The Trikonasana stimulates blood flow to the head, and helps to stretch and relax the back, shoulders, legs and arms. The muscles of the thighs, calves and hamstrings are stretched. A slight twist of the spine is involved.

  • The Parivritta Trikonasana is a Revolved Triangle Pose[2]
