This sequence is for complete beginners to yoga, but we will also be posting, Beginners Yoga routines, (for those who know the basics of the subject), , and short Intermediate sequences, (for those who have an established, mature practice and are ready to tackle some of the more challenging poses). This sequence comprises the following poses: Uttanasana - Standing forward bend (modified for stiff hamstrings) Tadasana - Mountain pose Trikonasana - Triangle pose using a chair Adho Mukha Virasana - Forward folding hero pose Adho Mukha Svanasana - Dog Head Down You just need your mat, a chair and a wall for this practice although if you have a shoulder injury, a yoga belt (or a small towel) will be useful. If you find any of the poses difficult, you can look the poses up in our Yoga Pose Directory, which we are adding to all the time.These tutorials will teach the poses in more detail and sometimes with extra props.
