Yoga Yoga Yoga Styles Beginners Poses & Workouts From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga My yoga teacher has a fun way of putting a class together on the fly. He goes around the room and asks each student for a pose or area of the body they want to work on and then puts together a sequence that has something for everyone. Oftentimes, it seem like every other person wants to work on hip openers. Here are a few ways to satisfy that need. Seated Hip Stretches Five seated poses that get into the hips, groins, and IT bands. This is a nice sequence to tack on to your sun salutations or standing poses.

Even though I do my best to position myself somewhere in the room where I can't really see myself in the mirror, every so often I get an eye-opening glimpse. Like, hey, my front knee is nowhere near as deep in extended side angle as I thought it was. Noted, corrected, time to go back to looking at the floor. You can skip the mirror and just go ahead and deepen that knee so the thigh is parallel to the floor.
