stand strong.

This video is worth 20 minutes of your time. Amy Cuddy is a social psychologist who has studied how your own body language can shape the way you think about yourself. We all know that we can project self confidence (or lack thereof) to others by the way we carry ourselves...but her research suggests that by holding a particular stance for a few minutes, we can create big changes in the way we feel.

The next time you take Warrior 2 pose (Virabhadrasana 2)...consider holding it a little longer, and standing a little stronger. Goddess pose (Utkata Konasana - Fierce Angle Pose) is another great example of an asana that will invoke the strength that Amy Cuddy speaks about!

Let us know what you think! Give it a try!
