Low Lunge

Pose Guide

  4. Shift your seat forward, stacking your right knee over your right ankle.
  5. Lower your left knee to the ground.
  6. Inhale, lifting your hands to rest on top of your right thigh.

Triangle Pose

  1. Begin standing at the top of your mat with your feet hip-distance apart and your arms at your sides. Begin to pay attention to your breath.
  2. Step your feet wide apart, about 4 to 5 feet. Check to ensure that your heels are aligned with each other.
  3. Turn your right foot out 90 degrees so your toes are pointing to the top of the mat. The center of your right knee cap should be aligned with the center of your right ankle.
  4. Pivot your left foot slightly inwards. Your back toes should be at a 45-degree angle.
  5. Lift through the arches of your feet, while rooting down through your ankles.
  6. Raise your arms to the side to shoulder-height, so they’re parallel to the floor. Your arms should be aligned directly over your legs. With your palms facing down, reach actively from fingertip to fingertip.
  7. On an exhalation, reach through your right hand in the same direction as your right foot is pointed. Shift your left hip back so your tailbone and pelvis tilt toward the wall or space behind your left foot. Fold at your right hip. Keep your right ear, shoulder, and knee on the same plane — do not let your torso drop forward. Turn your left palm forward, with your fingertips reaching toward the sky.
  8. Rest your right hand on your outer shin or ankle. If you are more flexible, place your right fingertips or palm on the floor to the outside of your right shin. You can also place your hand on a block. Align your shoulders so your left shoulder is directly above your right shoulder.
  9. Gently turn your head to gaze at your right thumb.
  10. Draw down through the outer edge of your back foot. Extend equally through both sides of your waist. Lengthen your tailbone toward your back heel. Keep your left arm in line with your shoulders.
  11. Hold for up to one minute. To release, inhale and press firmly through your left heel as you lift your torso. Lower your arms. Turn to the left, reversing the position of your feet, and repeat for the same length of time on the opposite side.

Tree Pose

  1. Get into position. Tree pose often starts from mountain pose (or Tadasana), with both feet planted firmly on the ground and your weight adequately distributed so that you are balanced.
  2. Bend one leg at the knee. Choose the leg you are going to fold in first.
  3. Lengthen your body.
  4. Hold and repeat.
