Our legs need to be strong and flexible so we can do the things we enjoy without discomfort or injury. In this first step, spend some time stretching your leg muscles before strengthening and toning in the next steps.

Practice Guidelines

Before starting your yoga asana practice, please read the Practice Guidelines for helpful tips.

Use a yoga strap

For Cross Leg Pose you’ll need a yoga strap.

Daily routine to detoxify

Before you bathe, use our Wai Lana Detoxify Skin Brush to gently exfoliate your whole body— placing extra focus on your legs—to increase circulation and remove impurities. After bathing, apply our Detoxify Massage Oil to your body using long strokes and kneading movements. Inhale the aromatic scents of grapefruit, juniper berry, lavender, and rosemary, and feel light and refreshed!
