5 Easy Yoga Poses For Beginner

[freeonlineworkouts]

Yoga Poses

[radiotransmissionaac]

start list mostly personal use but hope help others maybe:

Yoga moves that require very little physical exertion or postural changes.

(Good for stretching, not too much moving your head at different levels or having your head significantly below your heart, mostly lying down or on all fours.)

Child’s pose

Frog pose

Cobra (variations for intensity)

Cat/Cow

Happy baby

Half lotus

if you know of any others please let me know and will add them to list.

I’ve been trying to get back into any form of moving my body as a disabled person and I find myself doing a lot of these organically when I need to stretch my body out.

My biggest problems with other beginners’ yoga is too much postural changes with my head (like in downward dog) or just too much physical exertion (like warrior pose).

this exact thing happens to me once a day. he’s so real

Day 5/28 Ways to Show Yourself Love ❤️

Do a little yoga flow!

You can find tons of 10 minute (or even less!) flows on YouTube that go slowly and do gentle poses. You don't have to be experienced or super flexible. You can find videos that do just standing poses, and some that do just seated poses. The stretch can feel so good and get some endorphins going.

10 Tips for Mastering Uttanasana

1️⃣ Warm up first 🔥 – Loosen up with gentle stretches like Cat-Cow or a seated forward fold before attempting Uttanasana.

2️⃣ Soft knees = deeper release 🦵 – A slight bend in the knees helps you maintain spinal length and prevents lower back strain.

3️⃣ Don’t force it ❌ – Flexibility takes time; focus on the stretch rather than touching the floor.

4️⃣ Use props for support 🧱 – If reaching the ground feels too intense, place yoga blocks under your hands.

5️⃣ Engage your thighs 💪 – Slightly activating your quadriceps can help release tension in the hamstrings.

6️⃣ Try Ragdoll Pose 🌊 – Grab opposite elbows and gently sway side to side for a soothing variation.

7️⃣ Feet placement matters 👣 – Keeping feet hip-width apart can improve stability, especially for beginners.

8️⃣ Relax your face and jaw 😌 – Unclenching your jaw and softening your facial muscles enhances relaxation.

9️⃣ Hold for at least 5 breaths 🌬️ – Deep breathing increases relaxation and helps you settle deeper into the pose.

🔟 Practice patience 🕰️ – Flexibility improves over time, so be consistent and enjoy the journey!

This week (24.06.-30.06.), I felt inspired to try something new: A selection of workouts inspired by the masterpiece that is Shōjo Kakumei Utena. The inspiration here wasn't the body image of 90s Shōjo, but rather the ways the characters move. The idea was to pretend that I was preparing to fight those hyper mannerist duels. Since I'm very limited in what I can do at home (no kendo, no fencing, not even basketball...) AND since the duels themselves are metaphorical kaleidoscopes of dance, fencing and freudian shenanigans, I picked a selection that combines factors that would go into this way: focusing on strength, flexibility and endurance, as well as balance, grace and control.
