Hi. My name is Elizabeth Cafferky and I teach Yoga at Yoga Yoga in Austin, Texas. You can reach me at Elizabeth@YogoYoga.com or check out our website which is www.YogoYoga.com. So this series of exercises I am going to go over is geared towards people who are athletic or runners so it's a lot of stretching to help you open up in the areas where you might have tightness such as your hamstrings and your hips. So the first one is just Tadasana Mountain Pose. And what's important about this pose is that you find your feet and that you are steady standing on your feet. So the four corners of your feet want to be connecting down. And you want to have them parallel and even so that you might notice when you look down at your stance that your foot, one or the other, turn out or turn in a little bit. So it's really important to create a nice steady, standing on your feet as you move through other exercises so that you don't over use one part of your body or one leg more strongly than the other.
