Yoga is an easy, yet powerful, method to include exercise into your daily routine. You may increase your strength, flexibility, and mood with just a few poses every day. It also offers a reasonable means of remaining involved and active, which makes juggling the responsibilities of daily life simpler.
Adho mukha svanasana (Downward-facing dog):
Get on your hands and knees to begin. Make an inverted “V” form with your body by tucking your toes under and lifting your hips. Maintain straight arms and legs while keeping your hands and feet flat on the ground. Hold the posture while taking deep breaths.
Benefits: This pose helps release tension in your entire body, particularly in your legs and back.
Bhujangasana (Cobra pose):
Stretch your legs out while lying on your stomach. With your fingers pointing forward, place your hands beneath your shoulders. Lift your chest gently off the ground while bending your elbows just a little bit. Take a big breath and hold it.
Benefits include improved posture and a reduction in back stiffness by strengthening your back muscles and opening up your chest.
Setu bandhasana (Bridge pose):
With your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent, lie on your back. Maintaining your shoulders on the ground, elevate your hips towards the ceiling while pressing your feet into the ground. Take a big breath and hold it.
Benefits: Increases stability and support by strengthening your glutes, core, and lower back.
Balasana (Child’s pose):
Put your heels back on the floor and kneel there. Lower your forehead to the mat and extend your arms forward. Inhale deeply, then ease into the position.
Benefits: This pose relieves tension in your hips and lower back, helps you relax, and calms your thoughts.
Vrikshasana (Tree pose):
Position the sole of your other foot against the inside thigh of the leg you are standing on. Put your hands together in front of your chest in the stance of prayer. Breathe deeply, hold the stance, and then swap legs.
Benefits: Increases stability and focus by strengthening your legs and improving balance.
Utkatasana (Chair pose):
Place your feet together as you stand. Raise your arms above your head, next to your ears, and bend your knees as though you were seated in an invisible chair. Take a deep breath and maintain the stance.
Benefits include strengthening your legs and core as well as enhancing your posture and endurance.
