I'm a yoga instructor, but I'm also a CrossFitter, a runner, and a skier, and keeping yoga as an integral part of my life allows me to strengthen and stretch my body to help me stay healthy and reach my fitness goals. I also work full-time and am a mom, and keeping a daily yoga practice is absolutely essential to my mental health and clarity. That being said, I don't have time to do a full 90-minute practice every day, but I do like to take 10 to 15 minutes a day to hop on my mat and do these 12 poses.
