In addition to challenging your balance and flexibility this yoga pose will help strengthen your hamstrings, hips and spinal muscles. With a soft knee balance on one leg and slowly hinge forwards from the hips lifting your other leg behind you. Hold your arms out to the side for balance. The aim is to create a near horizontal line from raised foot to head. Hold for 30-60 seconds then lift back up to the standing position and repeat on the other side. If you are struggling for balance gently place one hand against a wall or stable surface for extra stability. This will allow you to fully focus on the working muscles!
