I am doing the real work of building muscles and increasing my agility, but with poses with Sanskrit names like Surya Namaskar or equally fun English names like Warrior. I begin in tadasana, or mountain pose, as I set my intention, and I end up in savasana, or corpse pose, allowing my mind and body to clear out from a period of extreme labor.Skinnygirl CEO Bethenny Frankel, a devoted yogi, said in an interview with SELF, Yoga makes me feel really good and it makes me calm.
