Slow Yoga Sequence
for Beginners
When you are new to yoga, it can be difficult to know where to start. There are so many different poses and sequences that it can be overwhelming. This slow yoga sequence for beginners will help you to learn the basics and get comfortable with the practice.
The sequence begins with gentle warm-ups to get your body ready for the poses to come. Then, you will move on to basic poses that will help to build strength, flexibility, and stability. Finally, you will end with a relaxing cooldown.
If you are new to yoga, be sure to listen to your body and take breaks as needed. Yoga is a practice, and it should be enjoyable and comfortable for you. If something feels too challenging, back off and try a different pose. There is no need to push yourself beyond your limits.
Warm-Up
Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart. Inhale and reach your arms up overhead, then exhale and fold forward, hinging at the hips. Let your head and neck hang loose. Hold for a few deep breaths, then slowly rise back to standing.
Next, step your left foot out to the side and reach your arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor. Hold for a few breaths, then switch sides.
Finally, stand with your feet hip-width apart and clasp your hands together in front of your chest. Inhale and reach your arms up overhead, then exhale and fold forward. Hold for a few breaths, then slowly rise back to standing.
These warm-ups will help to get your body ready for the poses to come. They will also help to improve flexibility and circulation.
