Cheryl Van Sciver is the co-owner of Balanced Planet Yoga. She teaches all-levels at the studio but has a special place in her heart for beginner classes. We asked her to answer the following 5 questions about her yoga practice: What are some of the challenges you have experienced in your yoga practice and how did you work through them? I have definitely had my share of issues with the physical practice of yoga. Allowing my ego to get the best of me or pushing myself way too hard in my pursuit of a pose.

Poses in the BPY Flow – Triangle Pose and the Gunas
The three angles that make up the shape of a triangle make it one of the most stable shapes in nature. In yoga, this posture is comprised of three triangles.
