Every Day Yoga
Boat pose leg lift variation

What it does for me: lengthens legs and works my abs deeply
Why do it: You know you want amazing abs!

Sit on your mat, lean back on your forearms, and lift your legs straight up.

Firm your abs and lower your legs straight down to hover a few inches above the floor.

Lift your legs straight back up. Repeat 20 times. Take a short rest and try it again!

Boat pose with block variation

What it does for me: tones inner thighs and abs at the same time!
Why do it: The block feels great here for added resistance, and you feel like you’re doing good work.

Sit on your mat, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Place a block between your upper thighs. Come into a Boat pose by leaning your torso back, lifting your bent legs and holding your shins parallel to the floor. Hold your arms parallel to the ground, hands alongside your shins.

Straighten your legs and lower them to hover just above the floor. Your torso will come down to counterbalance, but don’t let your back rest on the floor. Hold for a few breaths.

Raise your legs back up into the Boat variation. Repeat 20 times. Take a rest and try it again!

Leg stretch on back

What it does for me: lengthens legs and works lower and middle abs
Why do it: Sit ups doesn’t cut it anymore.

This last move is borrowing a little from Pilates, but we can keep our yoga mindset here. Remember yoga isn’t just the poses. I like to remind myself what yoga rock star Krishna Das says, “it’s loosing yourself in love.” So that could mean that anything we do with love is yoga! Lie flat on your back and lift one leg straight towards your nose and grab your ankle. Hold for a few breaths and switch legs. Try 20 times.
