How to practice Revolved Triangle

  1. Stand with one foot forward and the other stepped back.
  2. Square the hips as comfortably as possible.
  3. Place the opposite hand on a block inside or outside the front foot.
  4. Lengthen forward, then rotate the chest toward the front leg.

Practice tips

  • Shorten and widen the stance.
  • Keep the top hand at the hip while balancing.
Practice note: Use a smaller range for back or balance concerns; avoid locking the knees.
