• Trikonasana, or Triangle Pose, is a standing yoga posture that improves flexibility, balance, and body alignment.
• The word is derived from the Sanskrit words “trikona” meaning “triangle” and “asana” meaning “posture” or “pose”.

• In Sanskrit “salabha” means “locust” or “grasshopper,”and “asana” means “posture” or “seat“.
• Salabhasana is a backbend pose that strengthens the back and expands the front of the body.

• Only the right nostril is utilised to inhale when practising the yogic breathing method known as “Surya Bhedana Pranayama”.
• The word is derived from the Sanskrit words “surya”, which means “sun”, “bhedana”, which means “piercing”, “penetrating”, or “relieving”.

• This means “bellows” in Sanskrit. This name is given because the abdomen pushes the breath like a blacksmith’s bellows.
