Yoga Poses Dancers Pose (Natarajasana)  Nata means dancer; Raja means lord or king. This beautiful pose is dedicated to Siva, Lord of the Dance, who is the fountain and source of Yoga. It is a great pose to challenge your balance, as well as stretch the front side of the body.
 Extended Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana) Parsva means side and kona is an angle. This is a deep lateral stretch, lengthening the muscles along the side of the torso and straight leg while challenging the strength of the bent leg and core muscles.
 Extended Angle Pose - Adapted (Utthita Parsvakonasana) Parsva means side and kona is an angle. This is a fantastic lateral stretch (for the side of the body). Stretch the whole length of the torso and straight leg while breathing deeply will leave you feeling invigorated and just a little bit taller!
Frog Pose (Bhekasana) Bheka means frog. This is a very deep stretch for the quadriceps and psoas muscles. Maintain control with the core so that you dont collapse into your lower back.
Lunge Psoas Stretch This is a pose that isolates the stretch to the Psoas muscle. It is great for those who have tight hip flexors and/or and deeper curve (lordosis) in the lower back.
Standing Splits (Urdhva Prasarita) A demanding, inverted forward bend, this pose is an intense stretch for the hamstrings of the lower leg, while strengthening the hamstrings and gluts of the upper leg.
Warrior I Pose (Virabhadrasana I) This pose both strengthens and stretches the legs. It is a great stretch for the front of the body, namely the hip flexors and abdomen, as well as the latissimus dorsi and the calves.
Warrior II Pose (Virabhadrasana II) This pose both strengthens and stretches the legs, and makes you feel like a WARRIOR!
