Three-legged Dog Pose: Invigorate the body!

We’re a little more than half way through Winter! Can you feel it? Spring is in the air.

This next pose is a wonderful FULL BODY stretch which includes slight back bending and hip opening (optional). A wonderful pose to invigorate the body after a long winter’s nap!

Pose: Three-legged Dog Pose

Tips: Keep hands and feet equidistant from the handle before lifting one leg to the sky. 

Basic: With leg lifted off of the board, keep hips relatively level and point your foot.

Advanced: Bend your knee, open up your hip and point your toe toward the opposite side of the board, trying to touch your head. 

Uber advanced: Lift the opposite hand off of the board a little (WHAT?!).

EXTRA BONUS POINTS: On a hot day, try to get that toe to the water until you lose balance and make a splash! INSTANT cool down. 

Benefits: Strengthens arms, core muscles and legs, stretches side waist, hamstrings, calves and inner and outer hip and improves balance.
