YOGA POSE ONE

     We've always dreamt of having a long leave from work or college, and here it is unexpectedly to help our world to cure all we need to do is stay home safe. Pros are we have ample time for ourselves and family but the main Cons are our mouth ain't gonna close from entering foods minutes to minutes and also less physical movement. So today I've decided to share some Yoga poses where you can do at your home. All you need is an hour from 24 hours and a yoga mat.


                                  

    Yoga is a way of life and its a universal exercise. Yoga brings together physical and mental disciplines to achieve a peaceful body and mind, it helps manage stress and anxiety and keeps you relaxing. Usually, yoga is started with Surya namaskar. There are many asanas that you can practice but I'll be sharing you simple asanas for beginners so let's start :

DAY ONE - ADHO MUKHO SVANASANA (DOWNWARD FACING POSE)

Step 1

Come onto the floor on your hands and knees. Set your knees directly below your hips and your hands slightly forward of your shoulders. Spread your palms, index fingers parallel or slightly turned out, and turn your toes under.

Step 2

Exhale and lift your knees away from the floor. At first keep, the knees slightly bent and the heels lifted away from the floor. Lengthen your tailbone away from the back of your pelvis and press it lightly toward the pubis. Against this resistance, lift the sitting bones toward the ceiling, and from your inner ankles draw the inner legs up into the groins.

Step 3

Then with an exhalation, push your top thighs back and stretch your heels onto or down toward the floor. Straighten your knees but be sure not to lock them. Firm the outer thighs and roll the upper thighs inward slightly. Narrow the front of the pelvis.

Step 4

Firm the outer arms and press the bases of the index fingers actively into the floor. From these two points lift along your inner arms from the wrists to the tops of the shoulders. Firm your shoulder blades against your back, then widen them and draw them toward the tailbone. Keep the head between the upper arms; don't let it hang

Step 5

Adho Mukha Svanasana is one of the poses in the traditional Sun Salutation sequence. It's also an excellent yoga asana all on its own. Stay in this pose anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. Then bend your knees to the floor with an exhalation and rest.

Good luck in trying this pose as it is challenging to stretch your leg muscle, personally I have struggled to try this pose, however, the end result is beautiful. I'll come back to you for DAY TWO till then bye!
