"Extended Triangle is good for lengthening the spine and strengthening the thighs and torso. This pose also stretches the hips, groin, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, chest, and spine. It may even improve digestion by stimulating the abdominal organs.

Benefits:
Increases stability.
Stretches and lengthens the spine.
Opens the hips and shoulders.
Stimulates your organs.
Reduces stress.

There are many variations of this posture. As your hips open up more, overtime you will be able to completely palm your mat. You can bring your right hand higher up your leg if that allows you to open your chest more-as long as it does not rest directly on your knee. You can also use a yoga block as a rest for your lower hand as an alternative.
