Yoga Posture for the Day is............



Side Angle Pose
 
 
Side angle is a great posture for both strengthening and stretching the legs.  The picture above is the bound side angle pose, but you can also place the lower hand on the ground beside of the front foot while straightening the top arm towards the ceiling.  In both variations, the gaze is upward and the back leg should remain straight.  Work to have the top of the front leg parallel with the ground.  Hold this pose for 5 long breaths then repeat on the opposite side :)
