YOGA Postures
Yoga Pose
We use the word “workout” loosely
here because, as we’ve pointed out, yoga is less workout and
more mind-body exploration. Workout implies sweating as you
push your body into exercise mode. That isn’t what yoga is
about.
So,
here’s a good way to start your yoga plan. Do these yoga
postures exercises in the order given for a good beginning
workout.
Easy Yoga Pose
Begin with the easy yoga pose.
Easy yoga pose is a comfortable seated position for meditation.
This yoga pose opens the hips, lengthens the spine and promotes
grounding and inner calm. Basically, you’re sitting cross
legged like you did in school as a young child. “Criss cross
apple sauce”, as my teacher used to say!
With the buttocks on the floor, cross your
legs and place your feet directly below your knees. Rest your
hands on your knees with the palms facing up.
Press your hip bones down into the floor and
reach the crown of the head up to lengthen the spine. Drop your
shoulders down and back and press your chest towards the front
of the room.
Relax your face, jaw, and belly. Let your
tongue rest on the roof of your mouth just behind your front
teeth. Breathe deeply through the nose down into the belly and
hold as long as is comfortable.
