#1

The three principles of mindful asana practice are alignment, action, and breath. The pose begins after all the actions have been performed. See how much quietness you can find in each pose; experience the pose fully and discover what it has to offer you.

#2

Urdhva Hastasana is a pose that energizes the mind and body and teaches proper extension of the arms. It is done by balancing your weight equally between the feet and spreading the toes.

#3

The Warrior II pose is the second pose in the Warrior series. It is a pose that is used to strengthen the triceps and the shoulders. It is done by placing a belt over the right shoulder, extending the right arm up to the ceiling, and turning the palm back.

#4

To practice balancing, stand in Tadasana with the wall on your right side. Place your left hand on your hip and your right fingertips on the wall, right elbow slightly bent. Bend your left knee and rotate your left thigh out to the side.

#5

The warrior pose is a basic pose that is typically found in yoga classes. It is a pose that is meant to be done with both legs straight and the arms extended out in front of you, parallel to the floor.

#6

To do Parsva Hasta Padasana, stand in Tadasana in the middle of your sticky mat. Step into Utthita Hasta Padasana. Rotate the right heel toward the arch of the left foot. Rotate the inner right thigh out to line up the center of your knee with the center of your foot. Rotate the chest forward and place your right hand on the block.

#7

To do utthita hasta padasana, start by standing in tadasana in the middle of your mat. Step into utthita hasta padasana, rotating your feet into parsva hasta padasana. Press firmly into the outer left foot and bend the right knee so that the center of the knee is in line with the center of the foot and the knee is in line with the ankle.

#8

To do utthita hasta padasana, set up two blocks against the wall at the back of your mat, about 3½ to 4 feet apart. Stand with your heels a few inches away from the wall in utthita hasta padasana, your buttock lightly touching the wall or very close to it.

#9

The Paschima Namaskara in Tadasana is a Reverse Prayer Pose. It opens the shoulders and chest, and brings freedom to the neck. The hand position and arm actions are the same as for the classic version of Parsvottanasana.

#10

To do Uttanasana, stand in Tadasana. Bring your hands into Paschima Namaskara in Tadasana. If you cannot have the hands in this position, clasp your elbows or wrists behind your back instead. Step into Utthita Hasta Padasana.
