What you need to start

Setup and Props

One of the beauties of yoga is that it doesn’t require much. At home, you’ll just need an open enough space to fit a mat and that allows you to move without bumping into furniture. You might also like to have a block or two, a strap (or belt), a blanket, and a bolster (or couch cushion).

Let's Begin

Beginner Poses to Know

There are thousands of yoga asanas, or yoga postures, but don’t worry—you don’t need to cram for your first class. As a beginning yogi, it will be helpful to know a few common poses to get you started. They will mostly fall in the following categories.

Standing Poses

Standing poses tend to be practiced from the beginning to the middle of a class and are sometimes linked together in a standing sequence. These are active, grounding, and strength-building postures. Some examples include Mountain Pose and the Warrior Postures.

Backbends

Opening the chest and heart and strengthening the back, backbends offset all the hours we spend hunched over keyboards and screens. Some examples include Bridge Pose and Cobra Pose.

Balancing Poses

Balancing poses help build feet, ankle, leg, and core strength while promoting focus, presence, and steadiness. Some examples include Tree Pose and Crow Pose.

Seated Poses

Usually occurring toward the end of class, seated poses often stretch the hips and hamstrings and sometimes include spinal twists. Some examples include Seated Forward Bend and Bound Angle Pose.

Resting Poses

Teachers will often end class with a series of resting poses. These postures may provide gentle backbends, twists, and easy stretches. Some examples include Child’s Pose and Savasana, or Corpse Pose.

Inversions

While going upside down may sound a little intimidating, there are plenty of beginner inversions that you can try to help energize the body and help improve circulation. Downward-Facing Dog and Legs on a Chair Pose are two great examples.

Especially at the tender young age of 60, a healthy lifestyle is a priority, and my yoga practice and cycling are central to that priority. Through YA I can access a rich torrent of inspiring classes and tutorials taught by seasoned, world-class yogis at my own convenience.
