3 key yoga postures

Practicing yoga gives you various benefits such as better management of your emotions , so stress and anxiety decrease, in addition to improving your circulation and the digestive process . Little by little you will achieve better results. The important thing is that you adopt it as a lifestyle.

Jan Sirsasana: Correct Foot Placement

Sit up straight with your legs extended evenly forward. Bend your right leg at the knee and place your foot with your heel on your right groin. Rotate your foot so the bottom is up and press your back knee to form an obtuse angle with your body.

 

This position will be difficult at first, so don't overexert yourself. Get as far as you can. Now place a folded blanket under the knee and also under the hips. Little by little the knee will move further back. Just keep your foot in the correct position.

Janu Sirsasana: correct posture

Having positioned your foot and knee correctly, straighten your left leg, keeping it firmly on the mat. Support the heel and stretch the toes up (the heel should gently pull away from the ankle)

 

Now inhale and lean forward on your straight leg. If you're just starting out with this practice, you can bend as much as you can, without arching your back. When this pose is done correctly, the body is fully supported by the extended leg. Hold your breath.

Triang Mukhaipada Paschimottanasana

Sit with your legs stretched out in front. Bend your right leg so that this foot is close to your right hip. The fingers should point back and the right calf against the right thigh.

 

You can place a small folded towel under your left buttock to keep your hips level. Lean your body forward and stretch. Hold the left foot with both hands. Inhale and lean forward, keeping your knees together, while reaching forward on your straight leg.

It is a complex position, but you should not despair. You just have to squeeze your knee or ankle and sit down; take a deep breath to improve your stretch position. Repeat in the other side.

 

The key in yoga is relaxation . Learn to be in touch with yourself and put aside the external problems you have; enjoy every experience, movement and posture you make, little by little you will advance. Everything is a process. Have patience and discipline.
