<h3>What is Yoga?</h3>
&nbsp;

<em>A little history…</em> <em>Yoga</em> is actually a broad term for a variety of physical, mental and spiritual discipline which originated in ancient India. In the West, the term Yoga refers mainly to <em>Hatha Yoga</em> a kind of yoga which gives focus on building physical and mental strength through <span style="color: #800000;"><em>Asanas </em></span>(yoga postures), <span style="color: #800000;"><em>Pranayama</em></span> (yoga breathing), <span style="color: #800000;"><em>Mudra</em></span> (body gestures) and <span style="color: #800000;"><em>Shatkarma</em></span> (internal cleansing).

There are thousands of yoga postures derived from contemporary gurus, <em>yogis</em> (a master of yoga) and contemporary writings. Through time these have been adapted and modified in the modern day yoga to achieve the goal of each individual practicing yoga.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">10 Easy Yoga Poses (Asanas)</h4>
&nbsp;

<strong><em>1. The Easy Pose (Sukhasana)</em></strong>

A great pose to ease your body and relax. I personally love this pose, not because it’s easy but because it allows you to just be in the moment, listen to your body and get into a meditative state.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLvJD7iKVhw

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<strong><em>2.Mountain Pose (Tadasana)</em></strong>

This is a starting position of all yoga poses, a steady standing position like a mountain hence the name. A bit like the easy pose but in standing position. An easy beginning pose where you get in tune with your body.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYhH8Gr35cI

&nbsp;

<strong><em>3. Tree Pose (Vrikshasana)</em></strong>

This pose represents a steady stance of a tree, it is a great pose for improving your balance and strengthening your leg and back muscles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVE4XXFFO70&amp;t=278s

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<strong><em>4. Downward Facing Dog Pose (Adho Mukho Svanasana)</em></strong>

This a basic stretching yoga pose. It stretches your hamstrings, chest and lengthens your spine. One the most common Yoga poses, slightly challenging for beginners but you can make variations to suit your level and then progress.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j97SSGsnCAQ

&nbsp;

<strong><em>5. Triangle Pose (Trikonasana)</em></strong>

Another great stretching pose. This is a lateral stretch, bending your body on each side forming a triangle. A great exercise for your core muscles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upFYlxZHif0

&nbsp;

<strong><em>6. Chair Pose (Utkatasana)</em></strong>

This is a slightly intense pose that will strengthen your leg and arm muscles. Also great for balance. Take your time in this pose, stay focus and slowly develop that strength.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySafTekJ3Ls

&nbsp;

<strong><em>7. Cobra Pose  (Bhujangasana)</em></strong>

This pose strengthens your lower back muscle and will improve flexibility in your spine. One of my favorite pose, not only that it’s great for the back, it’s good for toning your legs too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6jrC6WeF84

&nbsp;

<strong><em>8. Extended Child’s Pose</em></strong>

A restful pose to let go and surrender. This one is my number 1 favorite of all, and I think it’s true to most people practicing yoga because it’s a very relaxing pose especially after doing the other more advanced poses. This is a great yoga pose to start your morning just before you get out of bed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqVMAPM00DM&amp;t=277s

&nbsp;

<strong><em>9. Forward Fold Pose (Uttanasana)</em></strong>

Another great stretching pose for your hamstrings. A good smooth pose to let go. I particularly love this pose for my legs, this is great for toning your thighs, moving your hips up and down makes it even better to strengthen your legs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7Uhp5tphAs

&nbsp;

<strong>10. Cat Cow Pose</strong>

This is a great pose for the spine and back. A fairly easy pose but this pose really helped me with my back, also great for the core.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y39PrKY_4JM

&nbsp;

With those 10 basic yoga poses, you should already start to feel what it can do to your body and how it can relax your mind. The more you do these poses they become easier and you can then progress to a more challenging pose.

Enjoy your practice and remember to take your time, feel and be in the moment. Celebrate that energy with your body.
