To many of us, first things that come to memory when they hear about "yoga," is a representation of sore looking and challenging poses.
While yoga may indeed be hard the first few times, it isn't that hard to do either, once you learn to do it properly. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of the yoga positions that are easier, like standing steady and straightening your arms above your head. Can you yet remember some of the P.E. lessons, a lot of the poses feel the same.
1. Tadasana or The Mountain Position
1. Mountain Posture or Tadasana
2. Warrior I - Virbhadrasana I
Warrior I is a low lunge pose, with your legs positioned forward toward the edge of the mat. Keep your left foot flat, toes facing forward, and inhale as you bring your chest up, with arms raised to the ceiling.
2. Warrior I Posture or Virbhadrasana I
The key to doing Warrior I properly is to keep your hips square and facing forward. A good rule of thumb is to check whether they're parallel to front side of your mat-you may have to widen your stance a bit to maintain your balance. You can place your feet or hands against a wall to strengthen your body awareness.
Important note when performing Warrior I is that you hold your hips completely stretched while focusing your gaze ahead of you. An excellent tip is to control if they are in lign with the front edge of the mat - If you want, dilate your positioning a small amount to retain balance. Aditionally, you may place feet and palms on a wall. This will strengthen bdy consciousness.
3. Downward Faced Dog Posture or Adho Mukha Svanasana
Hold both knees under the thighs and raise them up from the ground on exhalation, lift your hips and aim towards your ceiling. Release tension on the hips, trying to reach with your feet to the ground-starters will drop-across some form of resist at this point, but that is completely normal. Make sure to hold your face in lign in comparison to both arms and don't let it drop down.
In reality, for performing an excellent down dog, you will need a longer period to master this pose. Starters may concentrate on holding the back right-angled when maintaining this position - the main thing is to maintain your spine without curving it. You may not forget to breath deeply!
4. Child Posture or Balasana
The Child position is an example of a restorative posture, it is an example to look at when you want to implement a relaxing practice in the center of your workout. This is a therapeutic posture, inspired on a fetal pose. When returning from down dog, you may slightly bend knees and lower the bottom, while lowering your torso to the ground past the knees.
Relax your head and shoulders and slightly lower them towards the ground. Straighten both arms and stretch handpalms and fingertips completely. Try to focus on proper and deep breathing. Lose tension in your back.
