Yoga Poses – Triang Mukha Eka Pada Paschimottanasana Or Three Parts Forward Bend Pose

By Geoff Griffiths @mmatraining1980

As with the vast majority of yoga poses, this one is easy to pronounce and you want to make sure that your pelvis is neutral and the spine is aligned ‘straight’/normal curvature.

With this pose, avoid or modify if you or student has knee stiffness or injury.
