You've been starving yourself all winter and hitting the weights four days a week just to look hot for summer. But now your back is sore, you can't touch your feet and you've got a knot in your shoulder the size of Rhode Island. Well, yoga instructor Kate Sortino is here to share some basic yoga poses that will improve flexibility and posture, release tension and help you do a dead drop the next time you're on the dance floor. You better sissy that asana!

Kate Sortino was introduced to Vinyasa yoga while taking a break from acting and singing in New York, and completed her 200-hour teacher training in 2010. Kate’s classes at Yoga High , Anthea Center and Hiking Yoga combine deep attention to breath, setting positive intentions and creative sequencing. Find her on Facebook and twitter.
