How to safely awaken the suppleness of your spine
Do yoga smarter, not harder
That’s when injuries happen.
Our bodies get pulled out of proper alignment… muscles are strained or even torn… and suddenly there’s a sharp or throbbing pain in your back or your hips that just won’t go away!
This is especially true of triangle pose…
It feels so good to open your chest as you stretch your top arm up to the ceiling while reaching your lower arm to the floor.
This pose offers such an ecstasy of expansion that yoga practitioners often are compelled to take the stretch too far and injure themselves – only to find themselves dealing with days or even weeks of pain or discomfort in their SI joint or back. (Ugh… SI joint pain is the worst… amirite?)
Is it possible to safely cultivate a strong, fluid supple triangle pose?
SPOILER: Yes, absolutely, when you know how to do it properly. But first you need to understand the myths of Triangle Pose:
MYTH: Triangle is a spinal twist. Nope. While the cervical spine can rotate in this pose, the rest of the spine doesn’t. Whether you set up this pose from standing position or are coming up from the floor, the movement isn’t really a proper spinal rotation.
MYTH: You need to create length of the side body to do Triangle pose well. Actually, the opposite is true. When you are moving well, the length in the side body will naturally appear.
"I chose to work with Susi because she is approachable, direct and clear in her teaching. As a teacher she is supportive while still pushing me in the direction I want to go in. She also practices what she preaches - which comes through in her teaching."

Discover how to recognize and eliminate your own compensatory patterns that are preventing you from experiencing the relief, strength, and flexibility that can be yours with Triangle Pose.
Acclaimed yoga therapist Susi Hately (BSc Kinesiology) will teach you how recognize your own compensatory patterns that are causing unnecessary strain and preventing you from progressing in Triangle – so you can eliminate the source of your tension and pain and cultivate the strength, flexibility, and energy you desire.
“I had a great experience teaching triangle last night!! It was BEAUTIFUL!! Most people kept the movement in their own range, kept it lined up, and the asana was just so pretty. No shifting out of the frontal plane to reach the floor. The compensations were minimized. Afterwards they also commented about feeling their legs and obliques in a new way. I was so excited to watch them find their range and move "Susi-pure" as I think someone said!”
