When I signed up for a gym membership for Pure Fitness in Tempe, AZ, I was excited to see they offered yoga classes. Little did I know I was taking classes by a wonderful instructor by the name of Zuzanna. After the first class I took with her, she asked all her students to sign up if they wanted to be added to her email list.

Here's a video showing how to get into the latest YOGA CHALLENGE called Standing Hand to Big Toe from a Standing Forward Bend. (I love this trick!)
If it's too hard to lift your leg and keep it straight, just bend your knee and then once you're balanced, you can work on straightening your lifted leg.
Don't forget to post photos of you trying this pose here in the YOGA CHALLENGE group.

Here's the latest Yoga Challenge for you to try.
Sanskrit name: Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana A
English translation: Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose
Also called: Standing Hand to Big Toe A
This balancing pose is great because it's a lot less scary than balancing inversions like the last challenge called Double Arm Headstand. This pose stretches out the hamstrings, shoulders, and encourages a long and extended spine.

There's nothing like getting a good stretch for the sides of your belly. Extended Side Angle pose is great for that, plus it really opens your hips and works the quad of your bent knee.
- Begin in Downward Facing Dog pose.

The last challenge was called Balancing Wide Squat and my favorite was posted by rugeorge. She even got her friend to do it with her and they're wearing matching outfits (it wasn't planned, but it's still adorable!).
Now don't forget about the newest challenge called Twisting Extended Side Angle.
