Do not attempt to do the complete step at once, especially if you are a beginner. When you get into the position, make sure that you do not let a lot of stress on your lower back and hamstring muscles. Try to elevate your hip muscles a little. Let your head rest comfortably. The slight elevation will give a boost to your blood flow and lead to more benefits. Stay in this position for a minimum of 5-15 minutes.

This balancing pose helps to stimulate fresh blood flow throughout the body by squeezing pressure points—giving the body a jolt of immunity-boosting fluid.

We carry a lot of our emotions in our hips, and Triangle pose allows for a deep opening and release of energy. Tips for your practice: Keep a bend in your front knee, and exhale as you move your leading hand towards the front of your mat. Be gentle on your ribs as you roll them open, and work to equalize the feeling of length in the torso.

7. Standing Backbend (Anuvittasana)
Slide 16-

Backbends are specifically detoxifying for the adrenal glands, which can become exasperated due to stress. During cold season, use a standing backbend to strengthen the lungs and keep the nasal passage open for breath. Tips for your practice: Standing first in mountain pose, use the core to lift the upper body upright and back. Place the hands on the lower back directly above the glutes. Breathe in and allow the body to lift and extend backward. Hold here for a few deep breaths, then come up slowly as backbends can cause a light-headed sensation.
