Physical yoga practice or hatha yoga, helps promote good balance by elongating, and aligning your parts of your body, including your abdominal muscles, which helps guard you back from injury. Good yoga posture, teaches every part of your body to bear its own weight as an alternative of relying on other muscles to carry the load.

Yoga poses function and perform differently. Each pose is designed to develop one’s flexibility and strength. Here are some common yoga poses that you can practice:

– Standing Poses

Standing is one of the key ways you will practice asana. These types of posture are helpful in aligning your body and your feet. This is also very useful in improving and maintaining a good posture. It is great for bad posture, as your backbones can be stretched and straightened without noticing it. Standing poses help by creating strength in the legs and at the same time increase elasticity in your legs and hips, because they are all connected to each other.

– Seated poses

Seated postures increase your lower back and hip flexibility. They also strengthen your back. This adds suppleness to your knees, groin, ankle and most especially your spine. Another
advantage is that it helps you to breathe in deeply, which gives you that calm and peaceful feeling.

– Forward Bends

This type of asana, helps you stretch the hamstrings and your lower back, also strengthening it. They lessen the tension found in your neck, shoulders, back and increase flexibility in your spine. Forward bends are also very calming and introverted.

– Back bends

These are amazingly helpful in opening your chest, hips and even the rib cage. This is helpful in strengthening and making your arms and shoulders stronger too. At the same time, it simultaneously increases the flexibility and elasticity in your shoulders. The great thing is that it helps to relieve the tension from the front of your body up to your hips and it
increases your spinal ability. Your spinal cord is one thing that is vitally important in your body, so you need to take good care of it.

– Balance

Balancing poses can be very challenging because they require leg strength and upper body flexibility, in addition to the ability to balance on one leg. The real challenge comes as you move from pose to pose while keeping one leg lifted off the floor the entire time. Tough but worth it!

By practicing these basic poses on a regular basis it will help you build strength, flexibility and stamina. Don’t worry if you can’t perform them correctly at first, just keep trying and as your strength increases you will be available to perform them more easily. Remember: It’s not about the destination, its about the journey! x
