Thankfully, you don’t have to be a master yogi to benefit from yoga poses, and these beginner poses are sure to get your feet wet when starting your yoga journey.
Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Śvānāsana)
This pose specifically targets your hamstrings and thoracic spine, making it an excellent choice for anyone with tightness in these areas.
Mountain Pose (Tāḍāsana)
This yoga pose is often used as a transitional pose between other movements. It is beneficial for grounding you and recentering your mind and body during a series of poses.
Warrior I (Vīrabhadrāsana I)
Warrior I is an excellent pose for building strength and stability.
Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)
This variation of the Warrior pose is excellent for building core strength, leg strength, and knee stability.
Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikoṇāsana)
This pose is more challenging, but it is certainly doable. If you don’t have the flexibility to keep your hand on the floor, raise the ground by placing a block on the floor and rest your hand on that instead.
