One-legged balancing poses may look serene, but stringing them one after
another offers one of the best butt-burners you'll ever feel. The trick
to a tighter tush? Do these five poses in this exact order, repeating
the sequence three times before releasing your leg to the floor; repeat
on the other side. If you don't feel sore after this, our guess is that
your backside is made of titanium!
- Stand at the front of your mat with the feet together.
- Bend the right knee behind you, and hold the top of the foot or the inside arch with your right hand.
- Press the right foot away from you as you lean the torso forward, raising the right foot high. You'll not only feel this in the legs, but it's also a great pose for opening the chest and shoulders.
- Relax the toes that are on the mat, draw the belly toward the spine, and stay here for five deep breaths.
