Explanation:

The tribhanga is a very feminine stance, literally meaning three parts break, consists of three bends in the body; at the neck, waist and knee, hence the body is oppositely curved at waist and neck which gives it a gentle "S" shape. Tribhanga is associated with Odissi which closely follows the tenets laid down by the Natya Shastra.
