Kick your fear of yoga to the curb.... Over the next 30 days we are going back to yoga basics. We will focus on simple foundational postures that are easy to do so that you are motivated to get on your mat. Today we start with easy pose, or sukasana. All you need to do is have a seat on your mat, and come into a crossed legged position. If easy pose doesn't feel that easy on your low back, hips, or knees sit on a bolster, block or pillow to help elevate your hips off the floor. You can also sit in a chair with your feet on the floor if sitting on the floor puts to much stress on your body. No matter where you find easy pose remember to sit up tall and relax your shoulders gently down your back. Take a big inhale and grow tall and as you exhale gently engage your lower belly lifting up the pelvic floor muscles, which is similar to doing kegel exercises, and checking the shoulders are relaxed. You can bring your hands into prayer, or on place your hands on your knees. Stay here for about ten rounds of breath. This is a great posture to begin your yoga practice, and also great for meditation. We are going to add on to this pose in coming days. If you have never done a yoga posture this is a great posture to get you started, and learn how to connect with your breath one inhale and one exhale at a time. Got a question??
