What gaze option is provided in Triangle Pose?

• A. Gaze up to your top thumb or gaze wherever is comfortable for you
• B. Look at your toes
• C. Close eyes
• D. Look at the ceiling fan

Answer: (A)

Gaze direction in Triangle Pose helps stabilize balance and keep the spine aligned. Focusing the gaze on the top hand’s thumb creates a clear, fixed point to anchor your attention as you open the chest and lengthen the spine toward the raised arm. This steady focal point supports a strong, even torso and reduces neck strain. If the neck or shoulders feel tight, you can simply keep the gaze wherever it’s comfortable while still maintaining that stability. Other gazes, like looking at the toes, closing the eyes, or staring at a moving object, tend to disrupt balance or neck alignment. So the best choice is to look up to the top thumb or wherever you find a comfortable, stable gaze.
