Yoga in the pool

Balancing Half-Moon

Strengthens: Obliques, adductors
Stretches: Hamstrings

From a wide stance, raise one leg (sideways) to hip height and follow through with your torso so it's parallel to the pool bottom. Stretch one arm out so that it is directly under the shoulder and fingertips are pointing towards the pool bottom. Bring your other hand to your hip or, if comfortable, lift that arm towards the sky. When balanced, look up towards the sky. Hold for 10 seconds to one minute, depending on your comfort level. Switch sides and hold for same length of time.
