It is the dream of all women to have a pair of long, firm and slender legs. But thin legs are not the only thing that makes a leg beautiful. Firm thigh muscles, well-proportioned calf muscles and natural leg muscle lines are what make a leg truly beautiful.

Here are some yoga poses to share with you, so that you can have a pair of well-proportioned legs!

 

1. Triangle pose (stretching side waist, inner and back thigh stretch, leg shaping)

-hands on hips, slightly bend knees, open right toes outward 90 degrees, push feet down to the ground.

-inhale, push the right thigh root to the left and extend the upper body to the right.

-exhale, right hand drops to calf, left hand stretches towards ceiling, eyes to fingers above.

-hold for 5 breaths, switch sides.

 

 

2. Strengthening side extensions (stretching the back of the leg, front of the leg and gluteus maximus shaping)

-triangle pose with the body slowly returning to square, move the back foot forward a foot's length and open the toes outwards at about 30 to 45 degrees.

-inhale, pushing the feet to the ground and extending the spine upwards.

-exhale, pulling the heel of the front leg back and stretching the body forward and down in the direction of the pelvis.
