Egg Hunt Yoga: 8 Family-Friendly Poses For Your Backyard
Take a cue from the White House's Yoga Garden at the annual Easter Egg Roll and strike a few yoga poses in the backyard with your family.
It’s hard to say what is a beginner, intermediate, or an advanced yoga sequence because every body is different. Someone with tight hamstrings might find a pose with a deep stretch difficult, while that same person can nail every Arm Balance they encounter. So how did we break down our yoga sequences by level? We categorized each yoga sequence in a way that we feel a beginner or advanced yogi can quickly find something that works for them. But please browse each section and use your intuition or consult a doctor before trying anything you feel is not safe for your body.
