Yoga poses and yoga in general are gaining traction in mainstream culture. The popularity of yoga has grasped on and formed it into an exercise of the mind, body, and soul for everyone. The origins of yoga and each of the yoga poses are certainly spiritual. The large array of yoga poses serve as a release from our regular routine, and a challenge for those who want to further discipline their mind and physique. Volume one of the three covers the first three of 11 yoga poses. The desire is to describe more popular beginner yoga poses to describe the basic technique in order to understand and try whenever you have free time. Yoga poses work as a wonderful fitness catalyst and are wonderful substitutes from the regular physical activities. There is a high emphasis on the core strength and overall flexibility, and these fundamentals carry over to other fitness, sports, and recreational activities. If nothing else, your body will love you for taking the time to fine tune it and keep it in healthy form.
Without further ado
Yoga Mountain Pose
1. Standing with your feet apart at the heels, touch your large toes together to bring them all into a formed line. Begin rocking back and forth as well as side to side to find the position most comfortable for your feet without moving your heels and toes from the original positioning on the ground.
2. Begin to tense your thighs and support the arches in your feet by lifting the inner ankles. slightly flex the inner thighs and core to bring the naval and the pelvis closer together.
3. Rotate your shoulder blades by bringing them together in the back, and then lower them towards the small of your back. Lower your hands to your side with palms facing forward. This will cause your sternum to raise.
4. Bring the crown of your head directly above the pelvic relative to its position. Keep your chin parallel to the floor and press your tongue to the floor of your mouth. Soften your eyes and relax.
5. The mountain pose, or Tadasana, is the foundation to all other standing yoga poses. It is important to practice this pose. Remain in the pose from 30 seconds to a minute while breathing smoothly.
Bridge Pose
1. Lie on the floor and place a thickly folded towel beneath your neck if you require the support. Bend your knees and set your feet on the floor with your heels as as close to the glutes as you can.
2. With your hands and feet on the floor, push your pelvis up without flexing your glute muscles. Keep your thighs and inner feet parallel. Hold your hands together beneath your body and push them towards your feet in order to properly adjust your shoulders on the floor.
3. Continue to raise your butt from the floor bringing your thighs parallel to the floor. Make sure your legs are viewed at a 90 degree angle at the side and push your knees away from you to help lift your tailbone. Tighten your core to decrease the distance between the pelvis and your naval.
4. Flatten your head to the ground by moving your chin away from your chest. Begin firming your shoulder blades and moving your sternum towards your chin. Tighten the outer arms and widen your shoulder blades. Try to lift the space between the shoulder blades up into the torso.
5. Remain tightly in this pose between 30 seconds to a minute and release with an exhale. Roll the spine towards the floor to relax.
Downward Facing Dog Yoga Pose

2. Exhale slowly while lifting the knees from the floor to a straight position without locking the knees. With your heels lifted slightly, stretch your butt towards the ceiling and flex your thighs towards the groin.
3. Push your thighs backwards and try to stretch your heels down to the floor. Further straighten your legs while focusing on not locking your knees.
4. Tighten your forearms and apply pressure to the tips of both index fingers. Begin lifting from this point to your wrists and all the way up to your shoulders. Rotate your shoulder blades by bringing them together and allowing them to migrate to the lower back. Set the head in a position between the arms without letting it rest.
5. Adho Mukha Svanasana is the traditional name for this yoga pose. This is one of the yoga poses traditionally used in the sun salutation sequences. This yoga pose is equally as good all by itself. Hold the position for anywhere between 1-3 minutes. Exhale slowly while bringing your knees to the ground to finish in the child's pose.
