Yoga for Beginners Simple Yoga Poses to Calm Your Mind and Strengthen Your Body

YOGA FOR BEGINNERS

While the sequences listed in this chapter can be prac-
ticed endlessly, you might find yourself wanting more,
which is why I’d like to teach you how to create a sequence
of your own.

Building Your Own Sequence

Creating a sequence on your own might seem intimidating at
first. However, the more you practice, the more you’ll be able
to listen to your body and create a sequence that’s appropriate
for you in the moment. As you move, you’ll understand what
feels good and what feels awkward. For now, I’ve put together
a few guidelines to help you get started.

CREATE A BEGINNING, A MIDDLE, AND AN END TO YOUR

SEQUENCE. Make sure that your sequence contains at

least one element from each of the following categories:

1. Warm up


2. Sun Salutations


3. Standing poses


4. Back bends


5. Cool down


6. Savasana
