What are the best ways to prepare for assessment?Imagine lifting through your inner feet and ankles. Pull your shoulder blades down, and widen your collarbones. Keep your head in line with your shoulders (not pulled back or forward), your chin parallel to the floor. Your pelvis and lower back should be neutral, not tucked or arched. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute.This pose works the upper body and stretches your arms, chest, legs, and back muscles. Get on all fours, toes turned under, knees below hips, and hands a bit in front of your shoulders. Exhale and start to straighten your legs, letting your heels pop up from the floor. Lift your sitting bones to the sky, and push your heels toward the floor. Lightly press your palms into your mat and slowly straighten your arms as you draw your shoulder blades down. Relax your head, and try to keep it between your upper arms. Hold 1-3 minutes.From downward facing dog, lower your torso forward with straight arms until they are perpendicular to the floor, your palms right under your shoulders. Widen your collarbones, pull your shoulder blades down, and look straight down at the floor. Hold 30 seconds to 1 minute. The plank pose will help you build stronger arms, wrists, and core muscles.This is a great pose for your upper body. Lie on your stomach, legs straight and the tops of your feet on the floor. Bend your elbows and place your palms on the floor next to your waist. Press from your hands to lift your torso and the top of your legs off the ground. Pull your belly button in toward your spine to tighten your abs. Pull your shoulder blades down your back, and lift your chest softly toward the ceiling without tensing your neck.

After class ended, I turned to what all 100% normal, totally well-adjusted people use to get their life questions answered: Google! (Cue the Google search at the top of this post.)

A great thing about Google: the autocomplete function lets you know you’re not the only deeply insecure guy asking this or any question. (How many times have you Googled something really specific, seen the autocomplete, and been like, “Yes! There are others out there who know my woes!”)

Then a bad thing about Google: it can raise questions as much as it answers them. People on some blogs said it’s weird or creepy to be the only guy in a yoga class full of women. But so many more said it’s totally cool, that it reflects self-confidence and comfort with oneself and to “own it.”

Yoga is wonderful for so many reasons. It's great for stretching, refocusing your mind, and unwinding after a long day. For some people, relaxing, low-key poses will do the trick. For others, higher intensity gets them feeling strong and centered. Personally, I fall into that second category. I prefer yoga that challenges me physically. Testing my skill and strength requires a ton of focus, and I find that a yoga workout that's more demanding is better at keeping my mind present. If I'm too unengaged physically, my mind wanders and I can't stay in the moment. When I'm pushing myself, I am 100 percent focused on the task at hand—and I also feel really accomplished after.
Bethany Lyons, founder of Lyons Den Power Yoga in New York City, knows a thing or two about challenging, strength-building yoga. Her studio teaches a method called Baptiste Power Yoga. "Power yoga is an efficient way to get everything in one: stretch, strength, sweat, cardio, and rejuvenation," she says.
The workout she created for SELF (below) follows a format similar to most classes at Lyons Den. It starts with an awakening sequence, which is a modified version of a Sun Salutation. Think of it as a warm-up. Then come moves and sequences that progress as the workout goes on, "building upon the core strength, stability, balance, and heat generated from the one before," Lyons says. You'll do lunges, balances, core work, and more—making this a total-body workout that's challenging, effective, and fun.
Challenging, fast-paced power yoga workouts will definitely make you stronger, but they can also bolster your confidence and mental power off the mat. "This is the perfect routine to make yourself feel like Wonder Woman, like you can conquer anything you set your mind to," Lyons says. "It can cause a shift in perspective in your day." And we all have days where we could really use that.
Try this intense power yoga workout the next time you're looking for a way to stretch, strengthen, and feel like a badass all at once.

If you are planning to give yoga a try or already doing yoga with the help of some guide/eBook, you would have realized or soon you will that most of these guides are not good enough. (And I can bet on it)

The problem with these types of manuals is that they seem quite practical as long as you don’t start to follow them.

The moment you jump on your yoga mat and set such manual in front of you, you realize there is a lot more required to do yoga on your own.
