The Canary District’s striking blue sentinels are the inspiration for a fun and practical pose called Surfing Warrior. Taught to me by Toronto-based yoga teacher Nicky Poole, this dynamic take on High Lunge is a brilliant way to improve your functional balance. Begin in a relaxed standing forward bend at the front of your yoga mat, with knees softly bent and finger tips on the ground. Keeping the right knee stacked over the ankle, step your left foot way back into a low lunge. If it feels precarious, like you’re standing on a tightrope, move your front foot a little to the right and/or your back foot a little to the left.
