My first time doing a little Yoga

I always hear people talk about Yoga but I have never really done any. I have the Wii which has yoga on it but I never really tried it. 

Last night during some of my ab work I decided to try a couple Yoga poses. I went to Yogabasics.com  and Pinterest (lol) to see a variety of poses. 

The first I did was the Plank =) one of my favorite exercises to do. I never really realized that it was a Yoga pose! I love doing plank challenges! They can be very challenging. 

Next I tried some simpler poses (I was a little tired from the ab work at this time).

First I tried was the extended mountain pose. This was a really nice pose to stretch and relieve some stress. 

The last pose I tried last night was the Downward Dog. This however did not turn out too well. I have tight hamstrings so I was not able to have my feet completely flat on the floor while doing this pose. I think I will keep working on this pose to help stretch my hamstrings. 

What Yoga Poses do you like to do?
