Yoga your way to a Jennifer Aniston Body

It’s no secret that Jennifer Aniston credits her lean legs, six-pack abs, and glowing skin to doing yoga with her instructor, Mandy Ingber.
Aniston does yoga with Ingber up to five times a week and has even taken her along on vacations. No wonder she has that body and the good news is you too can get fit through yoga.

Ingber advises "Practice a little bit each day.  "Do what you can, but if you can incorporate even 15 minutes of yoga into your day, you will notice your body, mind, and emotions begin to shift and change."

Don’t get green with envy, here’s a sneak peek with some yoga poses in Ingber’s Yogalosophy:

Target your abs and thighs with the Tree Pose
Stand straight, shifting your body weight on to your right foot with your knee up to your chest. Turn your knee to the side and press the sole of your foot to your inner thigh or calf, depending on your flexibility. Put your palms together, extending to the crown of your head. Hold it for 5-10 breaths.

Target your legs and butt with the Chair Pose
Sink down as if you're sinking into a chair. With your feet aligned, hip-width apart, rock back your weight from the balls of the feet to the heels and shift your hips back. Align your knee over heels, butt back, and peel your belly off your thighs by extending your arms overhead. Do 1-3 sets. If you really want to tone up, you can also do squats.

Target your abs and hamstrings with the Sun Salute
As you the inhale, sweep your arms over your head, and then as you exhale, dive forward — a swan dive with down-hinging hips. Put your hands on the floor and extend your chest forward. Step back to the top of a push-up and put palms directly below your shoulders. Firm your thighs and make sure your hips and shoulders are aligned. Resist the floor as you lower to a low push-up. Scoop your chest up and arch into an upward facing dog, keeping thighs on the floor. Roll over the toes and press back to downward facing dog, using your inner thighs and abs.
