Triangle Pose Foundations: Feet, Legs & Core Support

Triangle Pose looks simple. It’s everywhere — yoga photos, teacher trainings, beginner classes. But doing it well is another story.

In this episode of The Yoga Posers Podcast, Jane and Sarah break down the foundational mechanics of Triangle Pose (Trikonasana), starting from the feet and working upward. If you’ve ever felt wobbly, collapsed into your joints, or obsessed with reaching the floor, this episode will change how you approach the pose.

We explore:

• Why getting your hand to the floor (or even a block) can defeat the purpose of the pose
• How stance and foot placement changes hip opening and stability
• Why lifting the arches supports the pelvis
• The hidden problem with locking the front knee
• Why so many students cannot engage the quads
• When a block helps — and when it creates bad habits

This is a practical, anatomy-informed conversation that helps you build strength, balance, and support in Triangle Pose instead of hanging in your joints.

Perfect for teachers and curious students who want Triangle Pose to feel stable, strong, and sustainable.
