Featured Pose: Yoga Mudrasana (Yoga Seal Pose)
This practice is a little different from yesterday's.
Ardha Chandrasana is a fairly simple pose, whereas
Yoga Mudrasana (Yoga Seal Pose) is pretty advanced.
Rather than breaking the pose down we are building it
up slowly in an attempt to make it more accessible.
