Yoga is a process of using poses and posture to strengthen and tone your body. Normally it is relatively a safe exercise routine, and will allow you to relax as you build leaner muscle. There are numerous difficulty levels in Yoga. You should never go further than your body is willing to go. Doing so can harm you, when doing a pose, only go as far as you can. In time, you will find that you can go a little further as time passes. Yoga can be fun and very relaxing. Yoga can help you to lose weight naturally.
Let’s start with a stress reducing pose that will also tighten your core. When done properly, you will be in a curled position.
1. Kneel on the floor. Press together your big toes and sit on your heels. Now, separate your knees to the width of your hips.
2. Exhale, and lay your torso between your thighs. Lowering your stomach between your spread legs. Raise your tailbone and your neck at the same time. Now spread your hands in front of you with your palms up. Stretch until your shoulder blades feel lightly stretched.
3. Hold this pose for thirty seconds, and return to the original pose. Do ten repetitions of this pose.
Now, let’s try something a little harder. We will attempt Downward-Facing-Dog. When done correctly, this pose will have your head lowered to the floor, with your tailbone in the air.
1. Lie down on the floor. Be sure to keep your knees below your hips and your hands slightly in front of your shoulders. Spread your palms, and keep your thumb parallel with your big toe.
2. Exhale and life away from the floor. You should focus on bringing your knees up and slightly bent as you slowly start to raise your heels. Your tailbone should lengthen during this time Do this until your head is lower than your arched back, knees semi straight. Hold for a minute.
3. Exhale again and push your thighs back and stretch your heels back down to the floor. Straighten them again and press inward very slightly.
4. Stretch your arms out in front of you and relax for thirty seconds. Repeat for ten repetitions.
