my knee area feels as if it may rip apart when trying to go downwards? what can I do to…. help with this problem???
Thank you for doing this video. I'm a beginner and have been finding this pose to be pretty tricky. You explain it so well and with a good sense of humor.
Hi! I really love your personality! So I subscribed! I came to see two of your videos while looking for the suggested stretched for my sciatic and pudendal nerve pain. I dont usually subscribe to fitness videos nor would I even think of making it a part of my life but your explanations are so good I even think I may want to study Yoga just to give my pain issues more work. I really am not an active person, I am more of a cerebral person but perhaps I may find a great teacher that could live up to your very helpful and bright way you express yourself. Thank you so much you have no idea!
Thats not TRIKONASANA
Thats TIRIKONASANA
and Its not Sankrit, its TAMIL
Really super difficult again but it's good. I'm getting that core to strengthen.💕

Basic fundamentals… "a lil' teapot"
I have just started doing yoga and after a while my back hurts, should I stop doing yoga till my pain subsides?
Great alternative to Ambien 😀
Thank for teaching the foot alignment. It is very important information.
This video is very well done and helpful! Thank you!
good to be learning the foundations
Thanks for these videos! I knew I was doing something wrong in this pose 🙁
I find this pose difficult particularly when I started to extend my torso forward and then slowly placing my hand on the shin, after which my pelvis creates this cracking sound and I can feel an unusual sensation on my lower half body 😟 I will have to pay more attention to this asana and hopefully one day I can achieve it without feeling any pain or tension, just balance and length on my body ☺️ Thank you Adriene, namaste 🙏🏻
just what the doctor ordered, love this one. 🙂
Your sense of humor and brilliance of teaching are an amazingly rare combination! Your videos make it so easy and fun to learn the important points of each pose. Thank you so much Adriene— I really appreciate these videos!
This pose like many others became an absolute favorite once I started doing it more often! That stretch in the full expression is so amazing, and I usually feel my hips adjust after doing this. I noticed that I was definitely dumping all my weight and not being as mindful of my side body engagement. The more I do the foundations with you, the more mindful I become about keeping more of my body active instead of just forgetting about, say the top of my legs when I do table top. Many thanks and Namaste 🙏
Now do this pose cloaking the self with a heavy wolf blanket before pondering what a down wolf looks like, W3 loss our Blue too long ago, as well as Grace. But my little sister is Gracey now, hope you find your mystic Bluetiful metalutional gift.
hey I from turkey . i love the way you explained it
I'm new to yoga and I'm having trouble with this pose. It always feels like I'm hyperextending my front knee when I bend forward. Should I be bending my front knee a bit?
This is the one pose, that starts it all. One needs a strong basis in this movement to go on to others. IMHO~!
This is harder than it seems!! Thank you Adriene for this wonderful explanation of the pose.
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
This is one of my favorite poses. I’ve done a handful of your videos and am looking for more flows with triangle pose.
A friend suggested Trikonasana for strengthening my core. I have osteoarthritis. After a week of doing this by your video, I can already feel the difference. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Does anyone know if I am supposed to keep my front leg straight (knees locked) or do I soften the knees a little bit?
Brilliant , this gave me lots more visualisation cues to help move into this pose
Helpful cues and alignment would have been not locking the knee and also the opposing hip plastering back as it starts to rotate down.

As soon as you said, "This is not easy," I was like," Nope!" 😆 But seriously, thank you 🙏🏽
MAaaan I wasn't doing this triangle pose right. This is another great exercise ♡
youre brilliant
…but how much rotation in the hips? square to the side? or allow them to twist slightly towards front of mat to alleviate hip joint compression?
I can't do triangle pose so thank you Adrian for this video that helps me
I can't do triangle pose thank you so much for this Adrian it helps me
I find this one hard becoz lifting my arm up to the sky is hard since I’ve previously suffered with frozen shoulders in the past
OMG SHE TALKS SOOOOO MUCH… ITS A FOLLOW ALONG VIDEO…
Thank you Adrienne. Loved how you broke the instructions down to make it so clear. Was trying this pose the other day after looking on line. I would be very grateful if you could explain if all the different names are the same pose. You have answered one I now know triangle pose and Trikonasana are the same pose. However just to confuse me more 😂. It looked the same but was called utthita Trikonasana (extended triangle pose 🤷🏻. Also yogis that could get there hand flat on the floor, some said put hand on the inside of foot by the ankle and others the outside of the foot. !
Love these foundations videos. They are a good reminder before teaching the pose to my yogaclass today.
Hips need to be squared to the front. Your left hip should not move round or you will pull your lower back muscles. Almost every teacher I've ever had does this pose incorrectly.
thanks Adriene 🙂
