My love of Revolved Triangle came after years of practicing yoga and trying to open my tight overworked running muscles. I finally was able to hold comfortably the pose after struggling with it for years, and it became a key part of my home practice to open my chest, shoulders and upper back along with stretching my very tight calves, hamstrings and hips. Another few bonuses of the pose is its challenge on my balance while strengthening my feet, ankles and arches. This pose is perfect to balance out my running, cross-country skiing and cycling.
