Some Basic Yoga Poses and a sample sequence

Basic poses are ones that should be part of every yoga practice, and are poses you see being done in a typical yoga class. Let’s start with warrior II. The three poses that follow can be strung together with Warrior II to make a good, short sequence.

Warrior II

Stand and face the side of the mat. Spread feet approximately one meter apart.

Point toes of right foot forward. Turn toes of left foot inward at an angle-be sure not to twist your knee.

Bend right leg and bring knee is over ankle. Turn torso forward, in direction of right foot. Avoid tipping torso forward or sideways.

Relax your shoulders, bring arms high overhead, hands shoulder-width apart; keep your neck and shoulders relaxed.

Repeat on other side.

Work to holding pose for 20 seconds. Thighs & buttocks create a Pelvic floor of support that holds weight of your torso. The thigh muscles are extended and engaged in this pose. Consult your physician before doing this pose. You’ll likely be advised to keep hands at top of head and keep your stance less intense.
