Your Turn: What's your favourite yoga pose?

Posted on Mar 7th 2008 4:40PM by Martha Edwards
Every time I go to yoga class, I am sort of amazed at all the different yoga poses and how they suit different yogis. Everyone is flexible in different ways, and each participant of my class seems to have different yoga strengths.

My yoga strength also happens to be my favourite pose: Tree posture. It makes me feel grounded, and it also makes me feel accomplished--for years, I couldn't master it until one day, I realized that it had nothing to do with my yoga pants being slippery and everything to do with the strength in my legs. And though I'm typically very clumsy, I can hold that balance with the grace of ballerina.

So I'm curious about your favourite pose -- What is it, and why?
