Down Dog to Knee

When you combine yoga with bodyweight-bearing movements, you get the best thing that ever happened to your weight-loss goals. This is a much more challenging move than your typical yoga sequence, so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time for each rep.

  • Start in a Downward Dog pose, pressing your weight into your heels while lifting your hips into the air.
  • Lift your right leg up, squeezing the right glute.
  • Exhale and shift your weight forward so your shoulders go over your hands. Bring your left knee toward your nose, and squeeze your core to your spine neutral.
  • Inhale and lift your right leg up as your push your weight back into your heels and your hips up.
  • Complete 10 reps on one side, then 10 reps on the other.
