Gear Review: Gaiam All-Grip Yoga Brick
One great thing about going to a studio for a yoga class is that there are so many great props you can use, like straps, bolsters, blankets, chairs, and blocks.

Then Gaiam sent me this unique All-Grip Yoga Brick (price reduced to $12) and I thought, "Now that's something I've never seen before."

Strike a Yoga Pose: Head to Knee C
Here's the last of the three variations of the forward bend Janu Sirsasana. All three of these poses increase flexibility in your hamstrings, but this variation will also stretch out the muscles in your feet.

The time most suitable for Yoga is in the morning before breakfast when the mind is calm and fresh and the movements can be done with ease and vitality.
