There are soooo many different lunge poses you can do! This picture just shows a few. That is why the post is called Part 1. Because I will post more!
Lunges are so great! Opens, opens the hips more and more. We need that! So, our hips stay open and flexible as we get older.
The lunges in this pic are: high & low crescent lunge, side lift lunge, lizard lunge and a bit of a creation I call bird in flight lunge (big pic). 
That's what great about doing yoga. There are no strict rules, no one way to do a pose! It is freeing! :-)
​(psst....thought I'd share that I loooove doing yoga outdoors!)

This summer I added moon salutation to many of my classes. Mostly, my outdoor classes by the lake.
The series of poses consist of: standing crescent moon pose, goddess squat, star, triangle pose, pyramid, low crescent lunge, side lunges, goddess pose and mountain pose. These poses double as we go through them twice- to form a moon-like flow.
(Pictures were taken where I have my outdoor lake class- at Veteran's Memorial Park in Avon Lake.)

I came up with 9 variations to my wide-legged pose. But, there are many more!
Wide-legged helps open the hips, stretches the leg muscles, invert you to make you more calm-less anxious and much more!
I do a blend of these in both my beginners levels and mid-levels classes. You can always just do what you can!
As I say in all my classes.....you do your own yoga, your way!
