Exercising upside down is the new fitness craze and New York-based yogini Carla Villaorduna is one topsy-turvy poser.

If unwinding with your legs in the air is the new must-do trend, this incredibly fit yoga teacher has plenty of inspiration for you.

From distinctively styled headstands to extraordinary back bends, hip wide splits to stunning hip opener poses, she can give you some serious fitness inspiration.

IMAGE: She writes, 'Embrace life just the way it is. Develop through your practice, deep peace in your heart. Close your eyes and be one with the universe in the present moment. Everything is perfectly aligned and everything is meant to arrive to you in perfect timing. Keep doing your best, life will take care of the rest.'

IMAGE: Finally here's a pic of her doing the back namaste or the reverse prayer pose.
