Things You'll Need:
- It is helpful if you are familiar with triangle pose
-
Step 1
Stand back to back with the legs out wide. Both of you should turn your front feet forward so the insides of the feet are touching. The heels of the back feet should also be touching with the toes turned in slightly.
-
Step 2
Bring your arms out to the sides, shoulder height, with the palms facing the floor. The inside of your arms should be touching each other. Bend your front knees and keep the back leg straight.
-
Step 3
Reach out from your waist and start to bend toward your knee. Rotate the bottom hand down to your knee or ankle depending on how deep you want to stretch. Lift the top arm up so that the hand faces forward. You are now both in triangle pose.
-
Step 4
To twist, you should both take your top arm and bring it towards the floor. Start to twist until you can touch each others palms.
-
Step 5
Take the hand that was on your ankle or knee and start to reach it up through the middle and overhead. Your inside arms will be reaching up in between the two of you. Turn to look at each other and then, if comfortable, look up to the ceiling.
-
Step 6
Hold for five to ten deep breaths. Use hip against hip and palm against palm to balance.
-
Step 7
To release, bring your inside arms back down through the middle and untwist back into triangle pose. From there, tighten your abdominal muscles and lift back up to standing. Repeat on the other side.
