Wondering if you are ready for some advanced poses? If you have a good grip on basic arm balances, inversions, and backbends, you are probably ready to try some of the poses below. Keep in mind that what makes these poses advanced is that they require a lot of strength and flexibility - both things you get from doing a lot of yoga over a long period. So don't be in a rush to get advanced - the poses will still be here when you are ready.
