Yoga Tips for Women: Lion
This is an empowering pose that allows you to release any tension while toning the abs.
Kneel on the floor Japanese style with your buttocks as close to your feet as possible. Keep a straight spine, abs pulled in. Press your palms firmly against your knees with your fingers spread wide. Take a deep inhalation through the nose. Then at the same time, open your mouth wide and stretch your tongue out, curling it down toward the chin, open your eyes wide, and exhale the breath slowly out through your mouth with a distinct haaa sound. The breath should pass over the back of the throat. Turn your gaze towards the middle of the forehead. Roar a few times if you wish!

Yoga Tips for Women: Half Moon
This pose is great for strengthening the core muscles.
Start in a standing position. Inhale, bend your right knee, and slide your left foot about 6 to 12 inches forward along the floor. At the same time, reach your right hand forward. Exhale, press your right hand and right heel firmly into the floor, and straighten your right leg lifting the left leg parallel to the floor. Don’t lock the standing knee; keep a slight bend in it. Beginners should keep the left hand on the left hip and the head in a neutral position. Hold this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
