Getting In Tune With Yourself With Best Yoga Classes and Yoga Positions For Beginners

Best Yoga Classes Vault Crossfit

When you enter a 'yogasana' class for the first time and see the diehard yoga practitioners warming up for their session with the headstand pose, it’s natural to feel out-of-place. However, things are not as tough as they may seem.

With a continuous practice, you too would be able to get into advanced yogic postures, comfortably. But everyone has to start somewhere. In the Best Yoga Classes, a newbie would start with yoga positions for beginners that would help flex the various strained muscles and joints of the body.

The word ‘yoga’ means to yoke or unite. So, your ultimate goal is to be in union with your own beautiful being. Yoga postures are one of the initial steps to reach this.

On the first day of the yoga, just make sure that you feel comfortable with form-fitting clothes and get familiar with the basic yoga poses. It is imperative to avoid a wardrobe malfunction and have a yoga mat allowing a firm grip.

Read on further to know about the yoga poses that are going to pave your way to mastering your body and mind.

Tadasana or Mountain Pose:

This yoga asana or yoga pose is known as the ‘mother of all yoga poses’. The pose is easy to look at. However, entering into this pose requires awareness and balance. This pose would help you to achieve proper alignment and be in shape for the additional movements.

Practising ‘Tadasana’:

The first step for most yoga positions for beginners involves standing in a balanced position, with both your feet together and arms parallel to each other, on the sides. Make sure your weight on both the sides of the body and feet is equal. Breathe normal.

Ground your feet and press uniformly on the ‘complete’ area of the feet towards the ground. Your legs should be straightened, knees locked, thigh muscles must be taut, and tailbone tucked in. In the best yoga classes, the instructions and reminders to keep breathing normal are given from time-to-time.

Now raise your arms and elongate your torso and extend your arms up, raising the heels simultaneously. Ideally, the arms should be straight enough to touch the ears on the sides and the hands must be interlocked.

Variations in the pose may be done for the beginners. On reaching the extended position, exhale and release the shoulder blades further from the head taking them to the back of the waist and then to your sides for relaxing in the final position.

Balasana or Child Pose:

As the name suggests, this pose helps in relaxation. It calms down the nervous system and is a great way to get a breather during your yoga session whenever you need it. However, one has to lower down into the position with great awareness.

Practising Balasana:

You have to start in kneeling position where toes are tucked under (‘vajrasana’ position). Now you lower your torso keeping your lumbar area extended (it should not get curved). For this, stretch your upper body forward and pull your arms, parallel to each other, face between the arms, and arms touching the corresponding ears respectively. Let your stomach rest comfortably on your thighs while your forehead touches the mat.
