The Art of Perfection: 10 Eye-Catching Yoga Poses That Will Inspire You (4 of 6)

6. Fallen Angel

Before you can attempt this, you will first need to perfect the Side Crow, which even the best yogis require time to learn. But once you do, the Fallen Angel is a way to demonstrate your leg and core strength. You will also need to have confidence in yourself since a really intimidating element of this technique involves gently resting the side of your head on the ground as you rely on your arms to keep yourself balanced.

7. Handstand With Scorpion Legs

If you’ve learned how to do a handstand, you appreciate the hard work that went into it. It is a total-body effort that requires strong legs, core, and shoulders. When you incorporate the Scorpion, it really takes things to a whole new level. It starts with doing that aforementioned handstand and then hanging onto that center of gravity as you do a backbend. It won’t all come together right away; the way to work your way up is to start with your forearms, as it will serve as a sturdy foundation as you get better at this pose.
