Sign up for the Yoga Pose of the Day and you'll get a hot, fresh yoga pose delivered to your email in-box every single day. It's a great way to remind yourself to practice a little every day and keep your motivation up.

Let's get the new year off to a strong start with a power pose: warrior II. I've heard it said that the back arm in this pose represents the past while the front arm represents the future. The body should be kept in the present, so make sure you're not leaning to the back or front.

Welcome to the new year! Even if you don't do resolutions, there's no getting around the feeling that January 1st offers the chance for a fresh start. I always find that during the holidays, I (1) get so busy that my yoga practice suffers, (2) eat a lot of crap. I look forward to the official end of the holidays so that I can return to my healthier routines. If this sounds familiar, try signing up for my Revitalize Your Yoga Practice email newsletter. Over the course of five weekly emails, you will be reminded why you loved yoga in the first place and will be prepared to reinvest in your continuing practice. Stay tuned for more ways to get motivated in the coming weeks!

The key to keeping any health-related New Year's resolution is to make it something you can actually sustain long enough to benefit from. Today's New York Times includes ten such resolutions from Dr. Oz, including this one: Do seven minutes of yoga a day.

Just a few minutes spent on the mat each morning is a great way to get you body moving and ready for the day. By stretching out, you'll minimize the chances of getting a persistent back pain or sciatica. You can do any poses you like, but if you're not sure what to do take a look at my short daily stretch routine, the hardest working sequence in the business.
