Basic Yoga Session - Yoga Exercise and Pose

Set your gym equipment aside. Yoga Exercise will only require you 30 minutes each day, a Yoga Mat or
blanket, and a small exercise space.You might be surprised to learn that your body can actually do things you
did not think possible. Take the wide range of Yoga Poses that can help an individual attain a high level of
self-awareness, balance, and strength. The seven primary types of movements that your body can make
through Yoga exercise are flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and
circumduction. You can do a combination of these movements to have a stronger, more flexible, and balanced
body.

Yoga is one good way of relaxation. It can ease the tension building in your muscles and
joints without experiencing fatigue and overexertion. The Yoga exercise is also believed to
make a practitioner look younger. The basic yoga moves involved in the poses and
Aurora exercises will provide inner peace and radiant health.

for your liver, kidneys, as well as adrenal glands. Practice this Yoga Pose under the supervision
of a Yoga instructor. In this section, learn how to perform the Half Spinal Twist.

Crane Pose (Bakasana)

Develop your sense of balance, coordination and concentration and strengthen your arms,
hands, shoulders, and abdominal muscles by doing a C rane Pose. This Asana also gives an
active stretching to the back. In this section, learn how to do this pose.

Hands to Feet (Pada Hastasana)

The Hands to Feet Pose or Pada Hastasana gives many of the same benefits as the Forward
Bend - trimming the waist, restoring elasticity to the spine, and stretching the ligaments of the
legs, especially the hamstrings. Learn how to do the Hands to Feet Pose in this section.

Triangle Pose (Trikonasana)

In Hindu art, the triangle is a potent symbol for the divine principle, and it is frequently found in
the yantras and mandalas used for meditation. The Trikonasana or Triangle Pose concludes the
Yoga Postures in our basic session.

Yoga Exercise - Final Corpse

For you to appreciate the benefits of relaxation, you should first be familiar on how it is to be
tense. This is what happens when you do the Final C orpse. Everything related to that position
including suggestions on how to do it is discussed in further detail in this article.

I’ve always been pretty skeptical of yoga, having been a devout believer that frequenting the gym was a far
superior method of staying in shape than doing stretches half naked with some dude who is most likely a
metrosexual. I have to warn you though… don’t wait until your late 20s like I did to start trying some of these
yoga exercises. Since I started working out in high school I’ve done crunches and using ab belts nearly every
day, and although I’ve always had a decent amount of muscle everywhere else, I could never really tone my
core muscles as much as I wanted. About a year ago, my friend showed me some basic yoga exercises like the

www.abc-of-yoga.com/yogapractice/yogabasicsession.asp 3/5
9/2/13 Basic Yoga Session - Yoga Exercise and Pose
cobra pose, and just from doing those for about an hour a day, I’ve gotten better results than I did from all those
years of doing crunches. Now I finally have that cut, jesus on the cross abs and obliques (I actually have pics
from the way they looked before and after: doing yoga abs and ab belt abs).
