What are the best yoga or pilates exercises to lengthen the spine and the legs?

1. Any of the Power Yoga dvds by Rodney Yee will have a lot of great leg and spine exercizes. On www.gaiam.com, you can find a package of 5 of his best which will give you a different workout every day.



2. I think one of the best exercises to lengthen the legs and spine ("asanas") is "downward facing dog". Have a look at the first link below where this position is described really well. You can also look at other poses on this website - they are described in great detail. Most of the seated stretches are also really good to lengthen the spine and the legs (see the second link where many of the yoga poses are described.)
