Isn’t this a yoga website, for Pete’s sake?!  Where’s the poses?!

For this lovely Monday, I give you my top five yoga poses for the month of November:

1.)  Fallen Leaf (seems very appropriate)  — please note that the link shows a traditional child’s pose with arms next to the legs.  Fallen leaf is another name for extended child’s pose.

2.)  Tree Pose (again, spot on for the Fall)

3.)  Extended Side Angle pose (awesome strength builder & opener of the entire side body)

4.)  Pigeon (okay, not so symbolic, but fabulous for really getting into those hips)

5.)  Supta Baddha Konasana (i.e. reclining butterfly)

Add in a couple of sun salutations to warm up at the start and you’ve got yourself a nice little routine for the day.  Hit me back if you have any questions or would like tips on any of these asanas.

P.S. Thanks once again to Yoga Journal for the great demos!
