What is Yoga? 🧘♀️
Yoga is a Hindu discipline, originated more than 5000 years ago, which
encompasses an entire philosophy of life.
Thanks to the combination of asanas, breathing, meditation and other
techniques, we balance the body with the mind.
There are numerous types of yoga, as well as exercises, techniques and
postures that help us achieve greater physical and mental control, with
great benefits. Yoga is for everyone: beginner or
advanced, children or adults, men and women.
Basic Yoga Poses 🤸♀️
-
Downward Dog Pose
To do a downward dog, you get on all fours and align your limbs. Make sure your wrists are directly under your shoulders. Your knees should also be aligned with your hip bones. Then you just tuck your toes and press your palms into your mat, and fully stretch out. Lengthen your arms and legs so you are forming a triangle shape with your body.
-
Cobra Pose
You start by laying on your stomach and putting your arms to your side. Then you bend your elbows and lift your upper body up. Your legs should stay planted to your mat, but your shoulders should be up and your head pointing towards the ceiling.
-
Warrior 1 Pose
When doing this pose, one foot goes out in a big step and your leg stays bent. The other foot is flat on the mat and your back leg is lengthened. Your arms should go up and your shoulders should stay back.
-
Warrior 2 Pose
Your legs stay the same as the Warrior 1, but the back foot should be shifted so that your heels are aligned. Keep your front leg bent, but move your torso so that it is facing sideways and not forward. Then stretch your arms out in a T.
-
Tree Pose
One foot is planted on the ground. Your other foot should slide up your inner thigh or calf. And your hands go upward in a prayer-like motion.
-
Child's Pose
All you have to do is sit with your legs folded underneath you. Then you lean forward and rest your head on your mat. Your arms stay to the side for ultimate relaxation.
