Yoga Poses
Yoga Bloopers: Crow Pose
Ok, so I've said this before - Everyone falls in yoga. Here's the proof. Check out some of my Yoga Bloopers.
Strike a Yoga Pose: Extended Side Angle
There's nothing like getting a good stretch for the sides of your belly. Extended Side Angle pose is great for that, plus it really opens your hips and works the quad of your bent knee.
- Begin in Downward Facing Dog pose.
Strike a Yoga Pose: Head to Knee A
Looking to loosen up inflexible hips and hamstrings? Here's a yoga pose that's a popular stretch among runners because it'll target the oh-so-tight backs of the legs.
Sanskrit Name: Janu Sirsasana A
English Translation: Head to Knee Pose A
Also Called: Flag

Strike a Yoga Pose: Pigeon
Everyone can benefit from opening their hips - whether you are a runner, biker, a mom-to-be, or someone who sits at their desk all day - stretching out your hips can help prevent lower back pain, or knee or hamstring injuries.
Our hips tend to be really tight because our everyday activities require hip strength, but not hip flexibility. Not only does it feel good physically to stretch them out, but it is said that people hold a lot of stress and tension in their hips, so it is emotionally opening as well.
YOGA CHALLENGE: Standing Hand to Big Toe A
Here's the latest Yoga Challenge for you to try.
Sanskrit name: Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana A
English translation: Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose
Also called: Standing Hand to Big Toe A
This balancing pose is great because it's a lot less scary than balancing inversions like the last challenge called Double Arm Headstand. This pose stretches out the hamstrings, shoulders, and encourages a long and extended spine.
YOGA VIDEO: Standing Hand to Big Toe A
Here's a video showing how to get into the latest YOGA CHALLENGE called Standing Hand to Big Toe from a Standing Forward Bend. (I love this trick!) If it's too hard to lift your leg and keep it straight, just bend your knee and then once you're balanced, you can work on straightening your lifted leg.
