My personal practice yesterday was in Sanieh's hatha flow class. We worked on strengthening and stretching the quadriceps and opening up the hips with Anjaneyasana (low lunge), Parighasana (gate pose), Prasarita Padottanasana (wide-legged forward bend), Virabhadrasana II (warrior II), Uttitha Trikonasana (extended triangle), and Uttitha Parsvakonasana (extended side angle). Our peak pose was Vasisthasana Variation, which looks like this:

It's not surprising to say that I didn't achieve full expression. However, I was close. My hamstrings are tight so I could not get the lifted leg to straighten. Note to self: work on hamstrings!
