"Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand in YOUTH by the starry stream; but a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end, the dream is true!" – Edwin Markham


 

Triangle Pose

 

All standing poses are balance poses too. Stand with your feet wide. Try to turn one foot out towards ninety degrees and slide the other foot back a bit. Feel balanced on your legs. Spread your arms wide away from your heart. Reach your hand down over the leg that is a a ninety degree angle. The other arm reaches to the sky. Then do the other side.

 

Cat Pose

 

Start on all fours, with your knees aligned under your hips and your hands flat on the floor underneath your shoulders. Inhale deeply. As you exhale, round your back and gently tuck your chin toward your chest rotating your hips towards your belly. Hold this position for a few seconds. The mantra is meow.

Cow Pose

 

Next, inhale as you raise your head up toward the ceiling and curve your spine down toward the floor rotating your hips away from your belly. The mantra is moo. Alternate between rounding and curving five times.
