5 Easy Yoga Poses for Beginners  

The seasons are changing, and so are each of us. It’s always a good time to start a hobby,  especially one that contributes to a mindful lifestyle. Yoga doesn’t have to take up most of your  time, and it may add more to your life if you let it. Whether this is your first time doing yoga or  you have practiced it before yet you never continued with it, this is for you.  

Like many hobbies, there are different levels of intensity. In yoga, this means beginner,  intermediate, and advanced levels. So, don’t worry, yoga is very beginner friendly, which means  yoga is for YOU!  

Like anything new, you are going to be doing something different. Some poses will come  naturally to you, while others will practice a little more. These ten easy yoga poses may be a  great start for you: 

Mountain Pose 

Mountain pose is very beginner friendly. By practicing this standing pose, you’ll improve your  posture, balance, and alignment. This can be practiced anytime from 5-10 seconds and up. So,  why mountain pose? Well, for one, you’ll be standing tall like a mountain. And secondly, you  

can practice this at any time of the day. So, whether standing in line at the grocery store or at  work, be mindful of what you are doing and exhale. 

Easy Pose

Easy pose is also beginner-friendly, although it may be uncomfortable for some of us at first. By  practicing this sitting pose, you can manage stress, improve postural awareness, strengths your  back, and more. So, why practice Easy pose? With this pose, you’ll be sitting easily and in no  time, you’ll be able to practice longer than when you started.  

Child’s Pose 

Like mountain pose and easy pose, child’s pose is easy too. While practicing this pose, you can  look forward to stretching your back and stretching muscles around your hips. Some benefits of  doing this pose are releasing tension through the back, shoulders, and chest, helping with stress  and anxiety, and lengthening the spine. 

Legs up the Wall 

Legs up the wall are also easy to do. This pose can be done anywhere between two and three  minutes. Some benefits include a calm mind, alleviating tired legs, relieving foot and leg cramps,  it helps with backaches, and more. Why practice this? It’s a great way to end the day. 

Corpse Pose 

This restorative pose is so easy you may fall asleep. Whether you practice this on the mat, on  your carpet, or in your bed, you’ll be conditioning your body to release stress. You are releasing  one thought, muscle, and body part at a time. So not only will you practice mindfulness in this  pose, but good sleeping habits as well. 

No matter how old you are or your relationship with yoga, these five poses are some of the  easiest to practice while getting started. So, which one do you want to try first? Don’t forget to  consult your doctor first; if something doesn’t feel right, stop immediately.  

Sometimes starting a new practice is better with a strong, caring community behind you. A yoga  community is great because you’ll be held accountable, have tons of support, have community  events to tend to, and you and more. Need a community to practice with?
