3 Yoga Poses for Beginners
- The first pose is Downward-Facing Dog, one of the most common poses across yoga practices. In it, your hands are planted shoulder-width apart, your arms are straight, your hips are lifted and back, and your legs are extended straight (or with a slight bend in the knees, especially for beginners). Your body forms an inverted “V.”
- The next is Crescent Lunge. Stand in a forward lunge with one foot in front and bent. Your back leg is straight. Now, straighten your arms and lift them over your head. This pose is often used in yoga flow classes.
- Last, we have the Triangle Pose. Step your feet apart (wider than your shoulders). Then, hinge at your hip and lean over your front leg. Reach down with the same arm in front and rest it on the floor or a yoga block.
