Yoga Basics

Tips for Your Practice:

• Move into each pose slowly and deliberately.
• Remember to breathe while you are holding each pose. Don't hold your breath.
• Start slowly and don't overdo it.
• Loose, comfortable clothing or workout clothes are best for yoga practice. Bare feet are essential unless you are in some of the resting poses.
• You can do these poses every day if desired.
