Yoga first pose

The first yoga pose is the first movement to learn yoga. This movement seems simple, but it is difficult to do it well. In the gym, the levels of coaches vary greatly, and even if students' movements are not in place, it is difficult for coaches to correct them in time. Learning the first yoga pose can exercise the abdominal and waist muscles and reduce fat accumulation. Mastering the correct yoga movements can cultivate the joy of fitness, improve muscle strength and endurance, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Action points

1. Stand in the basic triangle pose, with the right toe pointing to the right front, and the left toe turned to the right about 30 degrees (15 degrees can be used at the beginning, and the angle can be slowly adjusted after becoming proficient), bend the right knee (toe and calf are 90 degrees, calf and thigh are 90 degrees), and do a right lunge.

2. Turn your upper body to the right, inhale, and slowly raise your hands from the sides until they are above your head. Put your hands together and keep your elbows straight.

3. Exhale, raise your head, look at your fingertips, and breathe naturally for 30 to 60 seconds.

4. Inhale, face forward, look forward, and straighten your right knee.

5. Exhale, separate your hands and place them naturally at your sides.

6. Do the same exercise on the left side.

Practice Tips

This pose requires good stamina in the legs. When practicing, your legs will feel slightly sore and swollen. The best distance between the legs is when the foreleg and calf form a 90-degree angle. Once adjusted, do not move your feet too frequently. Extend your arms upward at the elbows. Lift your body upward without placing too much weight on your hips and legs. Open your shoulders, expand your chest, and keep your spine straight.

Precautions

When practicing this movement, you need to cooperate with abdominal breathing and must not hold your breath.

Take 5-10 deep breaths each time and repeat on the other side.

This move works better with Warrior 2, Warrior 3, and some of the evolved moves.

All standing poses are physically demanding, especially Warrior Pose 1. Therefore, people with weak hearts should not do this pose, and even those with stronger bodies should not stay in this pose for too long.
