Put all your weight on your left leg, and then kick your right leg out to the side. Transfer the weight to your right leg as you go into a lunge with your right leg bent and your left leg straight out to the side. Push off your right leg to put the weight back on your left leg and end back in the standing straddle. Lunges are awesome for toning inner thighs!</span></span></div>

Lower down into a deep squat, keeping your chest up, booty tucked under, and knees out to the side. Hold the squat for 10 seconds, then stand back up. When toning inner thighs, it’s important to have proper form, so you should make sure you have the correct straddle-stand. When you squat, your knees should be directly over your ankles.</span></span></div>

20 reasons that yoga helps you heal

<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Have you always wanted to try yoga but never quite had the confidence to start? Maybe you've been away from the mat for a while and are looking for a little motivation to recommit to your practice. Or perhaps you're considering adapting your existing yoga practice so that it can have more of a healing focus.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Yoga is the practice of creating unity between mind and body. When there's a disconnect between mind and body, our lives move out of balance, causing stress, fatigue and ultimately, illness. When you unify your mind and body through yoga, the reverse occurs. Your body can start to heal and rebalance naturally, helping you to feel healthier, happier and more alive.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
I discovered yoga through my own health crisis. My body was so out of balance that it actually broke down, leaving me bedridden for months. Though at the time it was a painful way to learn that I needed to be kinder to my body, the experience caused me to focus on the key ingredients for creating long lasting health and wellness. As I practiced yoga, I learned how to reconnect with my body and myself. Not only did I heal myself of a series of chronic ailments but I also lost over 60 pounds in the process and have kept if off for good.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
<strong>Here are 20 reasons that yoga helps you heal:</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
<strong></strong>1. Yoga brings attention to your breathing, which is the single most important thing that you do every day.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
2. Yoga is a spiritual practice that allows your mind to soften and your heart to open.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
3. Yoga can help you stay connected to yourself, so that you can put your own needs first.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
4. Yoga can help you to gain clarity about things you're working through each day.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
5. Yoga is a great way to say, "yes!" to yourself and everything that is important to you.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
6. Yoga can help you move beyond a negative inner-dialogue.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
7. Balance poses in yoga invite you to get out of your head and into your body.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
8. Yoga gives you healing tools to better cope with stressful events and trauma.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
9. Yoga rebalances your body and can help with weight loss, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), inflammation and other chronic ailments.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
10. Yoga can bring your awareness to the tension being held in your body, so that you can let it go.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
11. Yoga classes are a great way to meet new, interesting and like-minded people.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
12. Yoga opens up a whole world of travel opportunities, with amazing yoga retreats held all over the world.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
13. There are lots of different styles and levels of yoga allowing you to find the best 'fit' for you.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
14. Doing yoga regularly can help you to discover what makes you really happy.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
15. Creating a regular yoga practice can bring more flexibility and strength to your body.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
16. Yoga twists can help you feel stronger and better able to cope with life's unexpected turns.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
17. Yoga supports you to consciously make better and healthier food choices.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
18. Yoga opens you up to new feelings like inspiration, joy and gratitude.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
19. Relaxing at the end of a class awakens the healing wisdom that lives within your body.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
20. Yoga heals by helping you to reconnect with your inner-knowing, your heart and your dreams.</div>
