The Leg-Strengthening Yoga Sequence All Skiers Should Be Doing

If you suffer from tight hips and a lower back, you'll welcome this pose with open arms.

• From Wide-Legged Split, place your hands on the floor (if they're not there already) and walk your feet in so they're hips-width distance apart. Take a peek at your feet and see if you can press your heels out, bringing your feet parallel.
• Press your elbows against your inner knees and lengthen through your torso. Hold like this, or for a deeper lower back stretch, release your hands to the floor, and walk them away from you, lowering your chin to your chest.
• Hold for five breaths and then stand up.
