Yoga is a great way to get a workout, and it can be intriguing to watch others that are skilled in the practice perform yoga poses (asanas). By watching others we can learn correct posture and see what is possible when you set your mind to mastering any given skill. I will highlight the top three, highly skilled females to watch perform yoga

#1 Equinox's Briohny Smyth

Not only does Briohny Smyth look great performing yoga, she does so with strength and and perfection. Her flexibility and arm strength is amazing to watch in action. Watch Briohny on YouTube as she lifts herself into a handstand with merely her arms. The video also shows her performing the crane pose, headstand and more.

Briohny is a yoga instructor and she says, "Backbends are always misunderstood in yoga, and many yogis end up injured due to the misconception that we backbend solely in our low back, when you really want to think about creating space in the low back. In my classes, I teach awareness around 'heart opening' so more yogis are aware of how to backbend safely."

#2 Genevieve Rivera

YouTube shows Genevieve Rivera perform an amazing yoga workout. By watching her perform asanas you can see the abundant amount of flexibility she has, as well as strength in her legs, arms and core. Genevieve performs numerous poses, including the eight-angle pose and the firefly pose, smoothly flowing from one asana to the next. Genevieve manages to make some of the most difficult yoga postures appear to be easy since she seems to perform them with such ease.

Genevieve is a registered yoga instructor and says, "I believe that having yoga in my life has given me the most amazing gift of all it is the gift of AWARENESS. This awareness has shown me how the ego will drive us to injure ourselves, while judgment can defeat our love of yoga. I have become aware of my breath, my body, my mind, my ego, and my judgments. No matter what path lies ahead of me, I will always carry these lessons with me."

#3 Carmen Electra

While this video shows pictures rather than a live performance, you can still see how excellent Electra is at yoga. Asanas include the lord of the dance pose and a backbend with one leg in the air. Carmen performing yoga is quite different than some of her previous workouts, such as her aerobic striptease DVD series.
