How to do the initial yoga practice?

Yoga is a popular way to correct one's mentality and relax the body and mind. In particular, the fact that yoga can help people maintain a good figure and is also ornamental makes it a popular choice for women. Practicing yoga can also cultivate one's body and mind and calm the heart. Practicing yoga for a long time can achieve a peaceful mind, cultivate sentiments, and make everyone full of confidence and love life. Now I will introduce some basic yoga exercises to you.

When you first start practicing yoga, breathing is very important. For beginners, it takes some time to practice breathing in the correct way. Raising is inhaling, closing is exhaling. Try to complete each breath as completely as possible, with the inhale and exhale taking the same amount of time. Breathe 6 to 8 times in each posture. The higher your concentration, body balance and movement stability during practice, the longer you practice.

Preparation: Lie flat on your back, move your tailbone forward, stretch your waist, and exhale. Engage your pelvic floor muscles.

Position: Pull your heels toward your body. Lay your feet flat, distributing your weight evenly from big toe to pinky toe. Focus on the pelvic floor muscles, tighten your abdomen, tighten your buttocks and lift your hips. At the same time, keep your knees together and use the inner thighs to lift your hips and legs off the ground except for your head and shoulders.
