Yoga poses
In my video podcast I would like to explain the different types of techniques you can use to properly do yoga. There are easy postures and there can be difficult ones. If you are a beginner, I suggest you start off using the easier ones. If you do not, you can end up hurting yourself. I am trying to suggest ways of relieving stress not causing new problems. In yoga, from the article I used which is Santosha.com, They have 9 levels of postures. They go from very easy to quiet difficult. First I will start by giving type 1 on the difficult level scale.
The second yoga posture I would like to introduce is called the wind –relieving pose: The first step is to Lie flat on the back in the shava-asana. The second pose is to Inhale and bend the right knee and pull it close to the torso with both hands while interlocking the fingers just below the knee. Keep the left leg flat on the floor. The third step is to hold the inhaled breath for a few seconds then exhale slowly through the nostrils and lift the back, shoulders and head off the floor and touch the knee with the forehead. The fourth step is to hold the exhaled breath for a few seconds then slowly inhale and return the back, shoulders and head to the floor. Remain holding the knee. The fifth step is to hold the inhaled breath for a few seconds then exhale while bringing the right leg to the floor. Then finally lie flat on the back in the shava-asana for a few seconds then repeat beginning with the left leg.
The third posture is called the corpse posture: First lie flat on your back with your legs together but not touching, and your arms close to the body with the palms facing up. Then Keep your eyes gently closed with the facial muscles relaxed and breath deeply and slowly through the nostrils. The third step, starting at the top of the head and working your way down to the feet, bring your attention to each part of your body, consciously relaxing it before proceeding on to the next. Fourth, Remain in the shava-asana for between 3 and 5 minutes or longer. If you become sleepy while in the shava-asana begin to breath a bit faster and deeper.
Now in type 2 difficult level:
The tree pose: Stand in the tada-asana (Stand with both feet touching from the heel to the big toe, keeping the back straight and the arms pressed slightly against the sides with palms facing inward. 2. Bring the hands together at the chest with palms lightly pressed against each other (the Anjali-mudra). 3. Inhale and raise the arms straight up keeping the palms pressed lightly together. 4. Arch your body backwards keeping your arms alongside your neck and head, tilt the head backward and hold. Keep your knees straight while holding posture. Then finally slowly return to the tada-asana.
The next posture is called the diamond posture: The vajra-asana is a seated posture. Begin by sitting back on your heels and placing your knees, legs and feet together. Then keeping the back straight place the palms of your hands down on top of your thighs. The final step is breath gently through your nostrils and sit in this position for at least three minutes.
Third level of difficult:
The fish pose: Lie flat on the back in the shava-asana. 2. Keeping the buttocks on the floor, inhale and raise the head, shoulders, back and upper arms off the floor arching the back and raising the chest up. Tilt the head back and place the top of the head flat on the floor. 3. Raise the elbows off the floor bring your hands up just below the chest and join them at the palms with the fingers pointing straight up. Hold for the duration of the inhale breath or breath gently through the nostrils to remain in the posture longer. 4. Return to the shava-asana.
The fourth level :
The half spinal twist pose: Sit on the floor with the legs together and extended straight out in front. Keep the back straight, shoulders level and head straight. Place the hands, palms down, flat on top of the thighs then inhale deeply. 2. Exhale and bend the knees drawing the feet toward the torso. 3. Place the soles of the feet together, clasp the hands over the feet interlocking the fingers pulling the feet closer and placing the heels against the perineum. The outer edge and small toe of each foot should touch the floor. 4. Lower the knees to the floor and keep the back straight. Use the elbows to press down on the thighs if necessary to bring the calves and knees to the floor. Hold the posture breathing gently through the nostrils. 5. Release the posture and sit with the legs extended out and hands on the thighs.
The fifth level :
The headstand pose: Sit in a kneeling position with the buttocks resting on the heels of the feet. 2. Lean forward and place the forearms on the floor in front while keeping the elbows about shoulder distance apart. Interlock the fingers of both hands. 3. Place the top of the head flat on the floor with the back of the head pressed against the inside of the interlocked fingers. 4. Placing the tips of the toes firmly on the floor while lifting the heels, raise the knees off the floor. 5. Hold for the duration of the held inhaled breath. When you can't hold the breath comfortable any longer, slowly exhale and return the back to the floor, slide the legs out straight returning to the shava-asana.
The sixth level:
The shooting bow posture: Sit on the floor with the legs together and extended straight out in front. Keep the back straight, shoulders level and head straight. Place the hands, palms down, flat on top of the thighs then inhale deeply. 2. Exhale and reach down and loop the forefinger of the right hand around the big toe of the right foot and grasp the left foot with the left hand. 3. Inhale and pull the right foot back placing the big toe next to the right ear. Straighten the back as much s possible and hold the posture for the duration of the inhale breath. 4. Exhale and return to the seated position of step #1 then repeat the posture on the opposite side.
The last level I will talk about is the eighth level. The poses get harder and more strenuous if you aren’t totally careful and completely serious.
The eighth level:
The wheel pose: Lie flat on the back in the shava-asana. 2. While exhaling bend the knees and bring the feet as close to the buttocks as possible with the soles of the feet flat on the floor. 3. Bend the arms at the elbows and place the palms of the hands flat on the floor directly under each shoulder with the fingers pointing toward the back. 4. While inhaling slowly, begin to raise the head, back and buttocks off the floor while arching the spine. Continue to press downward on the hands and feet while raising the hips and stomach as high as possible. 5. Hold for the duration of the held inhaled breath. When you can't hold the breath comfortable any longer, slowly exhale and return the back to the floor, slide the legs out straight returning to the shava-asana.
