Which yoga pose should you do at home?

Guidelines For Beginners:

Always start by getting touch with your breath, start with child’s pose or seated position; it works well.

1. Warm up: warm up the spine and back with some gentle nice stretches in cat/cow and downward dog pose.

Sun salutation– personally I think without Surya Namskar your yoga warm up not completed, 12 different pose of Suryanamaskar itself is one complete workout; repeat 10 sets of it as warm up exercise.

2. Time division: You can divide your 60 minutes workout as

15 minutes for warm up poses; 30 minutes of asanas; 15 minutes of cool down poses and 15 minutes for meditation or breathing practice.

3. Asana- for practice asana; always begins with basic beginner’s yoga sequences and then step by step expand your practice as your skills improve. for more information of different yoga practice you can click here; Yoga For Weight Loss During Lockdown

Better to slowly open your body to some restorative posture and then move forward.

4. Breath– it is very essential to breathe right when practicing the asana. Concentrate on your breathing pattern; breath slow and deep, this is most important tip for yoga at home.
5. Pranayama- your breath is as important as your postures. Pranayama helps in learning how to control and regularise your breathing like- kapalbhati, anulom-vilom, bhramri.
6. Savasana- it’s important to close your practice with a moment to close your practice with a savasana. Even if you don’t have much time, it’s crucial to relax in savasana after yoga practice. This helps the nervous system to assimilate the benefits of the practice.
