Yoga 101: Poses for Beginners

 

Seated spinal twist yoga pose
Seated Twist

Stretches shoulders, hips, and back; increases circulation; tones abdomen; strengthens obliques

  • Sit on the floor with your legs extended.

  • Cross right foot over outside of left thigh; bend left knee. Keep right knee pointed toward ceiling.

  • Place left elbow to the outside of right knee and right hand on the floor behind you.

  • Twist right as far as you can, moving from your abdomen; keep both sides of your butt on the floor. Stay for 1 minute.

  • Switch sides and repeat.

  • Make it easier: Keep bottom leg straight and place both hands on raised knee. If your lower back rounds forward, sit on a folded blanket.
