Our December yoga challenge has not yet been announced on Instagram, but you know we like to give our @TwoFitMoms followers a sneak peak of what’s to come next month. Here are the 10 poses we will be covering starting on December 1.
Welcome to Day 10 of the November #YogaWithTFM 10-Day Challenge! Today’s pose is Scorpion or Vrschikasana. 
See the video below for a tutorial on how to get into Scorpion Pose, and keep in mind these three tips:
1. Do not force yourself deeper by dumping into your low back. Keep your abdominals engaged and move slowly.
2. As you curl your legs to scorpion, start to drop your chest as a counterweight.
3. Always think about bringing your head up to your feet, not your feet down to your head!
Please remember to warm up before participating in any challenge. If you would like to practice with us, download our 24-minute Backbends Practice class here.

See the video below for a tutorial on how to get into One-Legged King Pigeon, and keep in mind these three tips:
1. Props! Use a block if your hips are tight, use a strap to work the overhand grip.
2. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged to protect your low back.
3. Make sure to open up your quadriceps and front body before trying any of the variations shown in the video below.

Welcome to Day 8 of the November #YogaWithTFM 10-Day Challenge. Today’s pose is Wheel Pose or Urdhva Dhanurasana.
See the video below for a tutorial on how to get into Wheel Pose, and keep in mind these three tips:
1. Keep your feet parallel and thighs hugging into the midline.
2. If you are just beginning… Try pushing into your feet and lifting your hips first, then slowly push into your hands coming onto the crown of you head.
3. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged to protect your low back.

Welcome to Day 7 of the November #YogaWithTFM 10-Day Challenge! Today’s pose is King Cobra Pose or Bhujangasana (Toes to Head). 
See the video below for a tutorial on how to get into Cobra Pose, and keep in mind these three tips:
1. Don’t get discouraged if your toes do not reach your head! Do not push your body beyond its physical limits. You will still benefit from the deep chest-opening stretch.
2. Do not force your arms to straighten completely. Your ability to completely straighten your arms will be dependent upon your flexibility. It is safer to maintain a slight bend in the elbows than to force the arms to straighten and strain the back.
3. Create an even backbend throughout the length of your spine, and remember to breathe!

Welcome to Day 6 of the November #YogaWithTFM 10-Day Challenge. Today’s pose is Low Lunge Pose or Anjaneyasana. 
See the video below for a tutorial on how to get into Low Lunge Pose, and keep in mind these three tips:
1. Keep your biceps along side your ears. Do not allow your head to fall back through your arms.
2. Feel free to lunge into your front leg as much as your flexibility allows. It is acceptable for the front knee to extend past the front ankle in this pose. Just keep the heel of your front foot rooted onto your mat to maintain stability.
3. Try to focus on creating an even backbend with your spine, and avoid collapsing into your lower back.
