The host of the show, Kate Potter, then leads viewers through a gentle warm-up sequence that prepares the body for the triangle pose. This sequence includes gentle neck stretches, shoulder rotations, and stretches for the legs and hips.
Kate then explains the benefits of the triangle pose for the body, both physically and mentally. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper alignment of the body during the pose, and demonstrates how to achieve this alignment.
Viewers are then guided through a step-by-step process of entering the triangle pose, starting with the preparation posture and gradually moving into the full pose. Kate provides modifications and variations of the pose for viewers who may find it challenging.
