Ah yes, “Try Angle” pose. Of course. The one where you try to make an angle.
Seriously: this is where you can start thinking about something called “yantras”— or sacred geometry. Its an on ramp for beauty and imagination inside of yoga practice.
Here’s how it works:
Try to visualize yourself as a collection of lines.
For example, can you visualize your bottom arm and front leg as a collection of vectors that connect and intersect?
Oh look! A triangle!
The real fun comes as you try to visualize more and more of them... at the same time. And, without looking, feel how changing one vector somewhere can change the angles elsewhere... all without losing track of your breath.
So trippy. So fun.
