Cross-training helps everybody get better faster. Here are some things Tango for One has taught me about Yoga for Two.
Adho Mukha Svanasana
Downward Facing Dog
shoulders pulling toward epicentre of back
neck soft and free
head floating
head—sacrum feels pulled, head falling, sacrum hanging, feel the energetic line, feel the part in the middle
sacrum rooted
triceps energetic spiral to straight hands, duplicate in hips and thighs to straight feet for tango
Plank
navel in
extend energetically in both directions
Virabhadrasana II
Warrior II
back foot rooted into ground
arms and chest open out
your thighs kill until you feel the energy of the ground rushing up and supporting you
Utthita Hasta Padangustasana
Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose
stabilize the core
ground the energy

Samyama
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samyama
The union of dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (union)
the integration of fixed consciousness, directed attention, and loss of self-awareness
Abhyasa and Vairagya
Effort and Surrender
Om
Namaste, dude!
