Pranamasana (Prayer Pose)

Visualisation : You can close your eyes during this posture and rest your attention on the Anahata Chakra or the heart Chakra. Bring the feeling of positivity, feel the nourishing energy in your heart chakra, breathe normally and stay with this energy.

Benefits : Pranamasana improves the sense of balance, promotes vitality, strengthens the neck muscles and makes us mentally strong.

Hand to Feet Pose (Hasta Padasana )

This posture looks a little advanced, but it is not. Before we start this posture, remember that you don’t have to be perfect at this early stage. Perfection will come in time .

Stand erect as described in pranamasana. Breathe in and raise your hands. Breathe out and bend your body forward… keep bending until your hands touch your feet. If you find it difficult to bend that low, bend as much as you can. You can use a yoga brick (not mandatory) to rest your hands. If your hands can reach up to your ankles, grab your ankles with your hands.

If you can reach up to the toes, hold your toes. You can use another method: First bend your knees to hold your big toes. Then slowly straighten your legs. If you are flexible, your belly will eventually touch your thighs. Stretch your belly slightly toward the thighs to prevent the chest from sinking in.

Whether you can touch your feet or ankles, keep your legs straight. While you are resting in this position, feel the stress-points in your legs, your torso, your hands, and your neck…. Breathe normally and stay with the feeling. Stay in this posture for fifteen seconds.

This posture has several variations. But, since we are practicing beginners’ yoga, we will use the easiest pose. It is advisable not to try too hard to reach the ideal state of this posture. Don’t use drastic force to bend your body to reach your toes. Breathe deeply and stretch slowly. Bend the body as much as you can, but don’t struggle. If you practice regularly, you will be better at this.
