Step-by-step instructions
Follow these cues to master proper technique and stay safe through every rep.
- Step 1Setup
- Choose a quiet, comfortable space with enough room to extend your body fully.
- Use a yoga mat for cushioning and grip.
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows full range of motion.
- Step 2Execution
- Begin in a comfortable seated position with deep, diaphragmatic breathing.
- Move through a warm-up sequence such as Cat-Cow or gentle twists.
- Progress to standing poses, balances, and floor-based poses as appropriate.
- Focus on maintaining proper alignment and breathing through each pose.
- Hold each pose for 5–10 breaths or as directed by your practice.
- Step 3Cool Down
- Transition to gentler poses and stretches.
- End with Savasana (corpse pose) — lie on your back with arms at your sides, palms up.
- Close your eyes and focus on deep breathing for 3–5 minutes.
- Slowly bring awareness back to your body and sit up gently.
- Step 4Tips
- Never force yourself into a pose — respect your body's limits.
- Consistency is more important than intensity.
- Use props like blocks and straps if needed to maintain proper form.
- Breathe through your nose and coordinate movement with breath.
