POSE OF THE DAY...

Hot yoga happiness... 2 of my favorite poses... Standing Bow Pose Dandayamana-Dhanurasana- benefits include moving all the blood from one side of the body to the other, then back again. It develops balance and increases the size and elasticity of the rib cage, and firms the abs and upper thighs. Improves flexibiltiy and strength of the lower spine and builds patience, determination and concentration. My other favorite pose in yoga has always been tree pose, its different in hot yoga though, but I like it.... The tree pose Tadasana -improves posture and balance, increases flexibility in the ankles and knees, and hip joints. It also prevents a hernia by strengthening internal obliques!
