What muscles do the triangle pose in yoga work out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If done with proper alignment, trikonasana (triangle pose) will work your hip extensors including buttock muscles and hamstrings, core abdominal and back muscles and provide an excellent stretch to your obliques.
