Try this today

• Practice Half Moon pose — watch Denise Austin demonstrate this pose in the video above.
• Hold the pose for 30 seconds on each side.
• Breathe deeply while holding the pose.
• Adapt the pose to your level of fitness. For example, if you need help balancing, pose near a wall, or place a chair or block on the floor so you don’t have to reach down as far. Yoga should not be painful, so back off a little on your stretch if it hurts. 
• To build your yoga routine, add the Side Plank pose.

Why

Yoga can help improve your balance, strength and flexibility. The Half Moon pose stretches your hamstrings, calves, chest and spine, while helping you to improve your balance.
