⚡ THE GOLDEN RULE OF TRIANGLE POSE ⚡
Stop trying to touch the floor at the expense of your spine! When you force your hand down, your chest collapses forward, your intercostal muscles compress, and your breathing restricts.
Instead, elevate your hand on a block. This simple adjustment immediately opens your thoracic cage, decompresses your spine, and maximizes *prana* flow. Prioritize space over depth!
