What are the simplest yoga moves?

If we want to do yoga, what are the most basic and simplest yoga movements? If we master these basic movements, the effect obtained during exercise will be the most reasonable. Basic movements are the simplest practices, so people will not feel constrained when doing yoga, and will not feel that yoga will hinder them. Many people who are busy with work cannot spare time to exercise, so they can only do some simple movements. So what are the simplest yoga movements?

1. Standing posture

Every yoga movement is designed scientifically, and standing posture is the starting point of yoga practice.

The main purpose of the various standing postures is to restore the body's symmetry while relaxing and stretching the thighs and spine.

When practicing various standing postures, you should stay in them for at least three to four breaths. Among the yoga poses mentioned in the yoga instructor training, Tadasana is the starting position of all standing poses and can be practiced alone for 30 seconds or 1 minute.

In our daily lives, we rarely pay attention to our posture.

This is usually detected by placing the weight completely on one leg or the heel and observing the wear on the sole.

Long-term incorrect standing posture will cause the hips to sag, the abdomen to bulge, and the spine to tense.

Long-term incorrect standing posture will cause the hips to sag, the abdomen to bulge, and the spine to tense, leading to fatigue and brain dullness, so correct standing posture is very important.

2. Balanced Stance

Balanced stance means making various postures and coordinating the body by using the body evenly and allowing the body to move flexibly.

Practicing this movement can help us maintain balance and then exercise our willpower.

Yoga instructors maintain balance before meditation to cultivate a state of inner balance and tranquility, and it is also a good basic training before sitting meditation.

3. Sitting posture (bending forward, leaning back, twisting)

The forward bend soothes the entire nervous system and calms the brain, and the corresponding emotion is fear.

In the fast-paced and competitive life, although fear is a negative emotion, it can also protect us from harm. Practicing forward bends is learning to face our fears and cultivate insight, wisdom, and courage.

The reclining sitting posture can improve the spinal nervous system, digestive and respiratory systems, as well as the pancreas and spleen. The corresponding emotions are the ability to distinguish the value of things and the ability to adapt.

Seated twisting can gently massage the abdominal organs, improve the autonomic nervous system, and by activating the nerve centers, combining energy and strength, it can release the potential blocked in the body.

I believe everyone has mastered these simple movements. Once you know these simple postures and movements, these movements will come to your mind when you practice yoga in the future, thus helping you to get the best exercise results. When doing yoga, you must take care of your life and make relevant improvements in your diet.
