Best Yoga Pose #3 - Yoga Forward Bend:
If you have not done your Forward Bending Yoga Pose, you have not done your yoga for the day yet, period. This pose stretches the entire back of your body and is known for triggering spontaneous healing and known to grant yogis with a long healthy life.
How to do this yoga pose:
Sit with both legs extended straight in front of you. Make sure the legs are parallel and feet pointing straight up. Reach forward with your hands and hold onto your legs as low as possible without bending the knees. If you can hold your toes that's great, if not, arch them back towards you while holding your shins, knees or thighs. This will ensure you are stretching the calves and nerves. As you reach towards your feet, ensure you are bending from the waist and try to keep the back as straight as possible. Try to bring the forehead to the knees if possible.
Top Yoga Pose #4 - Yoga Stretch Pose for Abdominal Workout:

It is one of my favorite yoga poses and a must do everyday exercise. Oh yes, I almost forgot, this exercise is also excellent for working on your Navel Chakra, to help you develop amazing energy and tremendous willpower.
How to do this yoga pose:
Lie on your back. Place your hands under your buttocks palms facing down (to support your lower back). Raise your heels 6 inches, point your feet and toes away from you, raise your head slightly and stare at your toes. You will feel the abdominal muscles go to work immediately. Breath powerfully.
