The Yoga Pose of the day is.............



Runner's Lunge

This posture is great for opening the hip flexors, as well as the front of the body.  There's a nice added calf stretch you get on the back leg.  The posture also strengthens the front leg and core.  Focus on keeping the abdominal muscles contracted during the pose to gain some core strengthening.  You can take your gaze straight ahead or towards the ceiling and one modification is keep the back knee on the ground during the pose.  Hold for 5 deep inhalations before switching legs.
