If you can stretch to a point where you can touch the ground and hold it for 30 seconds, that's worth 50 feet of distance right there. I've spent a lot of time throwing with the old timers (old hippies basically) and they claim they could never chuck it further than when they were flexible enough to place a portion or their entire palm flat on the ground by their feet.

I went to the link below and found all of the poses you named except for the inverted triangle. When I searched triangle pose it gave me the: Extended Triangle Pose is this the same as the triangle pose? I am excited to try these new poses out. Is there any order to do these and do you do them all every day? Thanks in advance! Any other sites you know of please share!
