Yoga Poses Cobbler Pose (Baddha Konasana)  Baddha means bound; Kona means angle. Also known as bound angle pose, this pose opens the hips and stretches the adductor muscles of the inner groin. With a forward fold the lower back is also stretched.
 Extended Hand to Big Toe Sequence (Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana) This is a great and very challenging sequence, moving through Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, as well as variations on the pose. Each variation stretches the legs differently and challenges your ability to remain anchored as you balance on one foot.
 Half Bound Lotus Forward Bend (Ardha Baddha Padma Paschimottanasana) Ardha means half; badha is bound; padma is a lotus; and paschima means the west. This bound forward bend opens up the hips, hamstrings and shoulders, as well as stretching the spine in a forward bend and twist. The abdominal organs are toned as circulation to the pelvis is increased.
Halfmoon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) This video shows how Halfmoon Pose can be done with a block, for those who find it difficult to place their hand on the ground.
Halfmoon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) Ardha means half; Chandra is the moon. This beautiful pose is challenging due to its demand on the strength and flexibility of the legs, as well as on you ability to balance and stay focused.
Lying Groin Stretch This pose stretches the groin muscles (the hip adductors).
Reclining Hand to Toe Sequence (Supta Padangusthasana) In Sanskrit supra means lying down and padangustha is big toe. This is a series of poses that stretch the legs at different angles and include the hamstrings, piriformis, calves and groin muscles.
Revolved Half Moon Pose (Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana) Parivrtta means revolved or turned around; Ardha means half; Chandra is the moon. This is a challenging balancing pose that requires strength in the legs and flexibility in the legs, spine and shoulders.
