Utthita means extended when translated from the Sanskrit language. Trikona means triangle. So Utthita Trionasana translates into the extended triangle pose.

Then turn your right foot out at a 90 degree angle and your left foot in a 45 degree angle. Be sure that you keep both heels planted firmly on the ground to gain more stability in your position. Keep both legs straight throughout this position. Your hips and shoulders should face the front with your weight evenly distributed between and over both legs. As you inhale, raise both arms to your sides to your shoulders height. Palms should be facing forward and the fingers need to be completely extended. Keep in mind that your shoulders should be pressed down. Now in one exhalation, stretch horizontally to the right while keeping your arms parallel to the ground and tilt side ways. Extend your right hand in front of your right leg with your left arm stretching upwards, vertically. Hold this position for a few breaths and look up towards your raised hand. Try to hold this position. If your neck feels too much stress or strain then look in front of you or look down at your right hand.

The Utthita Trikonasana stretches the thighs, knees, ankles, hips, groins, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, chest, and spine. This pose stimulates the abdominal organs and helps digestion. This asana also helps with stress, back aches, and symptoms of menopause. This asana is recommended for people who suffer from anxiety, flat feet, infertility, neck pains, sciatica, and osteoporosis.
