    What's your favourite pose? The one you look forward to the most in class, or the one you do whenever you have a spare five minutes? I like lazy, relaxing yoga, as reflected in my favourites:

    Prasarita padottanasana - I like this as it usually comes after something I dont like and its a bit of a rest!

    I love poses like Bow Pose, which work on the back muscles!

    Can't do shoulder stand though :o

    plank-pose.jpg

    I love plank pose, mostly because I couldn't do it this time last year, so every time I do now I'm very pleased with myself.

    I love eagle pose, when I first saw it I thought there was no way I would be able to do it, but I can now!

    I actually like pigeon, too! I have very tight hips so it's a challenging pose for me, but I do feel better after it.

    You're reminded me that I must do it more often! Thanks! :)

    I love all of these, but when bending forwards during them. I like quite active yoga but I have massive problems with twisting poses (bloody boobs in the way!! :P ).

    I like the side crow, I find it hard to get into the pose, but once there find it very calming and rewarding after the effort and concentration of getting into it.

    The ultimate: balancing, backbend, forward bend. No wonder Iyengar has it on the cover of LOY.
