Spread your wings
Yoga’s “butterfly” pose is all about increasing receptiveness—a good thing in our book. (Butterfly if the yin version of Bound Angle pose, a traditional hip-opener.) Allowing the hips to open up and sinking into the pose shifts the focus from giving to receiving, a state many of us, particularly women, find difficult. Today, challenge yourself to make like a butterfly and check out Yoga Journal’s guide for executing the move properly.

I have done the butterfly before and it is not easy for me, but I find yoga helps me relax and destress. I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle which means I am choosing other activities besides couch potato. I hope these challenges will help me.
