Hold for five full breaths, then repeat on other side.Create a straight line from the outer edge of the back foot to the fingertips of the top hand.Draw the shoulders back and down to create space between shoulders and ears.Reach the back arm directly over your head without bending the elbow, keeping your bicep close to your ear.Place your front elbow onto your front quad, palm faced up.Start in reverse warrior or warrior II pose.Extended Side Angle ( Utthita Parsvakonasana)Įxtended side angle is a good pose to perform right after reverse warrior since it stretches the opposite side of the body. This pose strengthens the calves, quads, hamstrings, and groin, while stretching the legs, hips, waist, shoulders, and arms. Place the back hand on your back thigh as you reach your front arm up and over the head without bending the elbow.Ħ.This pose is similar to Warrior II, except there’s an added stretch for the side of the body. Reverse Warrior ( Viparita Virabhadrasana) Hold for five full breaths, then repeat on the other side.ĥ.Once you feel stable, press your hands together in front of your chest or raise them above your head.To help with balance, press the foot into the leg and the leg into the foot, and focus your gaze on a non-moving spot on the ground.Keeping your hands at your hips, slowly press the sole of one foot into the standing ankle, calf muscle, or inner thigh (avoid the knee).Start in mountain pose with your feet hip-distance apart.Tree pose strengthens the muscles of the standing leg, ankle, and foot.
Tree pose is the perfect beginner yoga pose for balancing - once you’ve mastered tree pose, you can move on to more complicated balancing poses. Hold for five breaths, then repeat on the other side.Draw shoulders down and back away from the ears, lengthen your neck and look over your front hand.Align your shoulders over your hips and reach arms out so they are parallel to the floor.Engage abdominals toward the spine and tilt your tailbone downward.Keeping your back leg straight, bend your front knee so that it is directly above the ankle and creating a 90-degree angle at the knee.Stand with feet 3-4 feet apart with the front foot pointing straight ahead and the back foot at 45 degrees or parallel to the back edge of the mat.Warrior II strengthens and stretches the body at the same time, giving you the feeling of a strong, fierce warrior. This pose strengthens your ankles, legs, glutes, core, back, and shoulders. With your hands on the floor or your ankles, hold the pose and take five full breaths.Slowly try to straighten the knees while keeping your stomach on your thighs.Reach your hands toward the floor, and let your head hang.Bend your knees slightly so that your stomach touches your thighs.Hinge forward from the hips and bring the torso toward the legs, keeping the spine straight.Standing forward bend is a natural transition from mountain pose and stretches the entire back of the body - from the calves and hamstrings, to the lower and upper back. Expand the chest and pull your shoulders back and down.Engage abdominals toward the spine and tilt your tailbone downward.Flex the quadriceps upward and rotate the upper thigh muscles inward.Stand with your big toes touching and heels slightly apart, or feet parallel and hip-width apart.It doesn’t look like much, but mountain pose is a very important pose since it’s alignment is the blueprint for many other poses in yoga.
