4. High Lunge
A Yoga practice session would not be complete without performing a high lunge or crescent pose. This stretching posture is good for stretching hips and psoas muscles. It opens up space in the chest when arms are lifted up, allowing for efficient inflow and outflow of air. The feet and thighs become strong by being firm on the ground. Most new students always struggle to balance themselves when doing this pose. But there is an easier way to do it; the secret is in looking down instead of up.
If you lose balance check your feet; make sure that they are not narrow. If your feet are not wide apart enough, chances are high that you will fall. With this pose, you will always be tempted to lean forward, but you should try to avoid it for better results. For pelvis mobility and good results, bend the back knee further down.
