Crossed Extended Side Plank (Utthita vashistasana variation) :
-Start in a normal plank pose.
-Roll onto the left hand and literally swivel your feet to the side so that your right foot is in front of your left foot, outer edge of left foot on floor and inner edge of right foot on floor. -As you inhale reach your arm alongside your ear and lift your hips up.
-Come back to a plank pose on an inhale and roll to the other side.

Great for lengthening the side body & ITB, strengthening obliques, back, and arms.

INSPIRATION: this I.AM.YOU.er hated yoga, never exercised, nor cared about being healthy when he strolled into our doors. Today, a handstand, with all the correct anatomical postures of his arms and connected breath.  It can happen. It will happen.

T LUNGE TWIST:  Start in a High lunge. Inhale straighten your front leg. Exhale bend your front knee and open your arms to the side. Keep your arms parallel to the floor, look over your back middle finger, and bend your knee to 90degrees.  Excellent to detox the liver, stretch the back, and open the shoulders.  

BASIC YOGA: we all have to start somewhere! I had no idea what I was doing the first twenty yoga classes and just followed the people around me. Including the impeccable model behind me and acrobat to my left. Embarrassing much? Yes. 

SHOULDER STAND, Salamba Sarvangasana.  

Excellent for bloating, digestion, lactic acid build up, jet-lag, bad moods, concentration, legs and feet.  Not good if you have a neck problem.  Watch the How To here.
