Benefits of Trikonasana

On the physical level, trikonasana provides a great stretch to many of the muscles of the body. This position stimulates circulation to the spine and excites reflex nerve activity, benefiting the cranial nerves associated with the sensory organs of the head, especially the eyes.

It combats problems with the lungs and breathing, and also helps remedy digestive disturbances such as constipation and indigestion.
