"Vanessa Hudgens' fame, fortune and sexy exes may be unattainable to the masses (did you see Zac Efron in *The Lucky One*?) but her sexy butt and toned back are up for grabs, thanks to yoga guru Eric Paskel, who taught Hudgens this energy-boosting move.\\n\\n\\\"Staying balanced in this series isn't easy so keep a smile on your face and enjoy the burn to your thighs, butt and back. Vanessa has said the name of this pose is perfect because she prays it's over fast!\\\"\\\" says Paskel, who teaches the *High School Musical* star at Yoga Shelter, his Studio City, California-based studio.\\n\\n ![[#image: /photos/57d8d49c4b76f0f832a0f952]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fitness/blogs/freshfitnesstips/Vanessa1Resized.jpg) ![[#image: /photos/57d8d49c4b76f0f832a0f953]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fitness/blogs/freshfitnesstips/Vanessa2Resized.jpg) ![[#image: /photos/57d8d49d50778cef321a6477]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fitness/blogs/freshfitnesstips/Vanessa3Resized.jpg) ![[#image: /photos/57d8d49ef71ce8751f6b6789]||||||](http://blog.self.com/fitness/blogs/freshfitnesstips/Vanessa4Resized.jpg)__Flying Prayer Twist Front and Back__  \\n Stand with your toes touching and your heels slightly separated (top). Bend the left leg and step the right leg back landing on the ball of the right foot. Your feet should be hips-width apart. Cross the right elbow over the left thigh making a fist with the right hand and cover it with your left (2nd image). Keep the left leg bending and lift the right leg off the ground (3rd image). Keep leaning forward and bending the left leg. While maintaining the twist and keeping the left leg bent, bring the right leg through, just extending it forward beyond the left foot (bottom). Extend the right leg back where it started. Repeat three times then switch sides.\\n\\nRelated Links:  \\n[Top 5 Energy-Boosting Foods](/fooddiet/2011/12/energy-boosting-foods-slideshow)  \\n[Get A Firm, Fab Yoga Butt](/fitness/workouts/2006/07/firming-your-butt-with-yoga-slideshow)  \\n[4 Ways to Sit Less At Work](/health/2012/04/sit-less-lose-weight-gain-energy-slideshow)\\n\\n--\\n\\nFor daily fitness tips follow SELF on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/selfmagazine) and [Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/selfmagazine).\\n\\nGet SELF on your [iPad](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id421088847) and [Kindle Fire](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063M1C6U)!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
