Basic yoga moves are simple and easy to learn

Yoga is gradually becoming popular in our lives. Practicing yoga can calm our body and mind. It can not only exercise our body’s flexibility, but also adjust our mood and relieve us of stress. Some entry-level movements are also very simple, making them easy for beginners to learn.

1. Standing

The standing pose is the normal standing position of a person. When doing this movement, pay attention to the feeling that your body is slightly pushed upwards, your knees should be straightened, but not overextended; your elbows should also be straightened, and your forearms should hang naturally. Once you are standing, try to keep your body as stable as possible. In this standing posture, the body support surface is actually very small, which places high demands on body balance. Therefore, this movement can not only help us straighten our backs, but also exercise our balance ability.

2. Tree Pose

The tree pose can exercise a person's balance, and help stretch the muscles of the arms, thighs and upper body, preventing fat accumulation in the upper body. First, stand naturally with your hands hanging by your sides and your shoulders relaxed. Then bend and lift your right knee, place the sole of your right foot on the middle of your left thigh or on your knee, stretch your hands toward the sky and put them together, and keep breathing. Finally, maintaining the leg movement, lower your hands to your chest while exhaling.

3. Back Stretch

When doing this exercise, first straighten your upper body and stretch your legs forward together. Then slowly bend your body down, making sure to try to bend from your lower back rather than your upper back. While bending forward, you can grab your calves with both hands and stretch them forward as much as possible. But how far you stretch is not the key, just do it to be comfortable. If you feel slight soreness, don't go any further. Hold for about 10 seconds, then return your body to the original position. Then repeat 3 more times. This pose allows your back to get a good stretch.
