The Yoga Posers Podcast

A must-listen for teachers and students looking to achieve a safer, more sustainable forward fold.

High Lunge (often called Crescent Lunge) looks simple—but once you step into the pose, many things start to fall apart. The back heel drops. The front knee collapses inward. The low back starts to ache. And suddenly a “basic” yoga pose feels anything but basic. In this episode of the Yoga Posers Podcast , Sarah and Jane explore why High Lunge is harder than it looks—and why that difficulty makes i...

Downward Dog might be the most recognizable yoga pose in the world—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
