This energizing pose brings fresh blood to the brain, helping you to focus and clear your head. It requires strength and flexibility in both the upper and lower body, toning and lengthening your achilles tendons, calves, and hamstrings, while opening through the chest and armpits. It strengthens the wrists, forearms, and triceps, and builds [...]
