Chair Pose You'll feel the thigh burn in this yoga-inspired Fierce Pose exercise. Stand with your legs together, and soften your knees. Reach your arms overhead, and touch your palms together as you fold your chest down toward your knees. Hold this position as you drop your tailbone down in a small pulsing motion 10 to 15 times. Keep your legs squeezed together for support. Then cross your left elbow over your right thigh, and hold here for five to 10 seconds. Rise up back to centre, and repeat on the left side. For a more advanced version, try the relevé: While staying in Fierce Pose, lift your heels off of the ground and keep your tailbone down. Pulse your seat toward your calves 10 to 15 times, and hold the last pulse for five seconds to finish. When you end in Chair position, make sure your back stays flat, and think about framing your ears with your arms to keep them lifted for a beautiful finish. Image Source: Louisa Larson Photography
