Pose of the moment

Who you calling fat? 

Uttanasana or standing forward bend is a great pose for stenching and strengthening the calves, feet and inner thighs.  This is one of my favorite poses not just because of the physical benefits, but it is also a great pose for relieving stress and anxiety. It is not necessary to have straight legs in this pose, as a slight bend in the knee (or deep bend, depending on your flexibility) does the job just fine.
Right now, that pose feels especially delish with my tender shins. Plus it is a more relaxing pose for me to focus on ujjayi breathing (or deep nosy breathing).
