Trikonasana

Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana) is a fundamental yoga pose found in almost every style of yoga. It is almost certain that you will encounter it in your first few yoga classes and for many years to come. Its simplicity belies its effectiveness as a hamstring stretch.

The foundation of the pose is established with grounded feet and strong legs, allowing the chest to twist deeply and blossom open.
