Pose of the Day

Try it for: 3–5 breaths each side

Side Lunge. One knee bends, the other leg lengthens. Keep heel down and chest lifted. And yes—bending your knees is allowed. Take the version you can breathe in.

• Make it easier: Hands on blocks and stay higher.
• Make it stronger: Lift toes on straight leg or hover hands off blocks.
• Props: Blocks

Listen to your body. If anything hurts (sharp pain, pinching, numbness), back off or skip it. If you're working with an injury or are pregnant, check with a qualified professional.
