Mother's Day Yoga With Faith Hunter

Unwind with these simple but healing body-bending poses.

Take Care - Whether you're a mom or someone's baby, take a moment today (and everyday) to bust a move like these. POSTURE: Upward Facing Forward BendBENEFIT: This is the master of core workouts. Forget bending over to touch your toes, reach for those pedicured beauties (or corns if you got 'em) with all your abdominal might, and hold...CAREFUL: If you have a back injury, or wear and tear in your hamstrings or shoulders.*Remember to consult your physician about any new practices.(Photo: Courtesy of Faith Hunter)
On the Run - POSTURE: Seated Lunge VariationBENEFIT: This version of the lunge is great for mommies (and daddies) who are always on-the-go. It relieves tightness in the thighs, shoulders, and abs (core health is not all about the strength of the muscle, but also the "length" –– elasticity).CAREFUL: Especially if you have any knee injuries.(Photo: Courtesy of Faith Hunter)
Sky High - POSTURE: Peaceful WarriorBENEFIT: Leg and hip strength and stretch, and a good core stretch.CAREFUL: If you have a neck injury. Also, keep the front knee "in line" with the ankle and middle toe. (Photo: Courtesy of Faith Hunter)Heart Break - POSTURE: Standing Lunge VariationBENEFIT: This opens the shoulders and the heart (well, actually the lungs, which is great for the heart.) It also tones the legs and improves balance.CAREFUL: If you have any weakness in the knees, ankles, or back.(Photo: Courtesy of Faith Hunter)
