Hello Strands fans! I really struggled with today's puzzle. I got three answers without knowing the connections, and I only figured it out after I gave a hint before the fourth puzzle.

These three words were BRIDGE at the top right, CHAIR at the bottom right, and CROW below that. What do these have in common? I had no idea, having never practiced yoga.

When I found the TREE above the CHAIR with the help of a hint, the link finally connected. Its location gave me the spelling of the word "yoga," so I got to work on the spangram: YOGAPOSES, spelled backwards.

Thankfully, the board split up nicely for the remaining three answers; COBRA was isolated in the lower left corner, so I got it relatively easily. And I could see WARRIOR over the edge of the spangram.

This left only AINTNUOM as the anagram to decipher, and it didn't take much time; I connected the MOUNTAIN and belatedly completed the puzzle.
