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!
After stretching your legs in the previous step, you can now add some standing and balancing asanas to strengthen them. Get started with the individual asanas, then when you’re ready, move onto the longer sessions.
Wai Lana Mini Yoga Ball and yoga strap
You'll need this small air-filled ball and a strap for Strong Abs, Toned Legs.
Are you ready for a challenge? With regular practice, these techniques and multi-day courses are guaranteed to strengthen and shape your legs. The Strong & Lean Legs course targets the legs specifically, while the other courses shape the rest of your body as well.

- Do your best to hold the poses for the time shown. Otherwise, rest when you need to (you can pause the video), then start again.
