Standing Sequence Of Yoga Poses
The standing sequence of yoga poses is a great way to start your practice. It warms up the body, and prepares you for more challenging poses.
The sequence begins with Mountain Pose (Tadasana), which is a basic standing pose that helps you to find your balance and center. From Mountain Pose, you move into Forward Bend (Uttanasana), which stretches the hamstrings and the lower back.
Next, you move into Chair Pose (Utkatasana), which strengthens the thighs, calves, and ankles. From Chair Pose, you move into Triangle Pose (Trikonasana), which stretches the sides of the body, and opens the hips.
Next, you move into Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana), which stretches the hamstrings and the lower back, and strengthens the arms and the legs. From Half Moon Pose, you move into Warrior I Pose (Virabhadrasana I), which strengthens the thighs, calves, and ankles, and opens the hips.
Next, you move into Warrior II Pose (Virabhadrasana II), which strengthens the thighs, calves, and ankles, and opens the hips. From Warrior II Pose, you move into Reverse Warrior Pose (Viparita Virabhadrasana), which stretches the sides of the body, and opens the hips.
Next, you move into Standing Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana), which stretches the hamstrings and the lower back. From Standing Forward Bend, you move into Downward Dog Pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana), which stretches the hamstrings and the lower back, and strengthens the arms and the legs.
Finally, you move into Child’s Pose (Balasana), which relaxes the body and calms the mind.

Learn Yoga Sequencing
: The Basics
When you start learning yoga, one of the first things you’ll learn is how to sequence poses. Sequencing is important because it helps you create a flow that allows you to move through the poses with ease and grace. It also helps you warm up and cool down properly.
There are a few basic things to keep in mind when sequencing poses:
• Start with a warm-up. This will help prepare your body for the workout.
• Follow up your warm-up with a sequence of poses that will work your whole body.
• Finish with a cool-down. This will help your body relax and transition back to normal.
When sequencing poses, it’s also important to be aware of your own limitations and abilities. Don’t try to do too much too soon. Start with basic poses and work your way up to more challenging ones.
And above all, always listen to your body. If a pose feels uncomfortable or dangerous, back off and try something else.
