Yoga Journal's 21-Day Yoga Challenge, Day 4: Standing Poses With Jason Crandell (VIDEO)

Watch: Standing Poses, Day 4

Today's series is all about lifting and lengthening. These standing poses express the full reach of our bodies, from toes to finger tips. That brings a nice stretch, but it also helps strengthen the lower body, which must serve as a steady base for the lifted torso and limbs.

When Yoga Journal put out the call for their 21-Day Yoga Challenge, we knew we wanted to be a part of it. Over the course of three weeks, we're going to learn to incorporate a daily practice of breathing, meditation and vegetarian eating to our busy lives. We're hoping to emerge stronger, more flexible and mindful of the choices we make for our bodies.
