Yoga Pose Turtle
The Yoga Pose Turtle is a great pose for beginner yogis and those who are looking for a gentle backbend. This pose helps to open the chest and shoulders while also stretching the hamstrings.
To get into the pose, start by sitting on your yoga mat with your legs extended in front of you. Place your hands on the floor behind you and slowly walk your hands out until your chest is resting on the floor. Bring your forehead to the floor and let your shoulders relax down. Stay here for 5-10 deep breaths.
To come out of the pose, slowly walk your hands back to your feet and sit up. Take a few deep breaths and then repeat the pose on the other side.
Yoga Poses 4 Person
Couch
There are many reasons to do yoga, but one of the best reasons is because it’s fun! And what’s more fun than doing yoga with your friends?
This yoga pose is called the Couch Pose. It’s a great pose for beginners because it’s easy and it doesn’t require any balance.
To do the Couch Pose, all you need is a couch and four friends. (If you don’t have four friends, you can do the pose by yourself, but it’s more fun with friends!)
Start by sitting on the couch with your friends in a circle. Everyone should be sitting Indian style, with their legs crossed in front of them.
Then, have one person lie down on the couch, with their head in the center of the circle. The rest of the group should gather around the person lying down, and put their hands on their friend’s body.
Now, everyone should take a deep breath in and, on the exhale, gently press down on their friend’s body. Hold the pose for a few seconds, and then release.
Repeat the pose a few times, and then switch places so that everyone has a chance to be the person lying down.
The Couch Pose is a great way to get to know your friends better and to have some fun while you’re doing yoga!

Yoga Poses Cartoon
I’ve been practicing yoga for more than 10 years, and I’ve found that the best way to improve my practice is to keep things light and fun. So, I created these yoga poses cartoons to help make my practice more enjoyable.
The Downward Dog is a great pose for strengthening the arms and legs. It also helps to stretch the back and hamstrings.
The Camel pose is a great way to open up the chest and stretch the back.
The Triangle pose is a great way to improve balance and flexibility.
The Warrior pose is a great way to build strength and flexibility in the legs.
The Child’s pose is a great way to relax and stretch the back.
Sun Salutation Yoga Pose
The sun salutation is a sequence of yoga poses that warms up the body and mind. The poses are linked together with the breath, and the sequence is repeated a few times to create a flow.
The sun salutation is a great way to start your yoga practice, and it can also be used as a warm-up before a more vigorous sequence.
The sequence begins in Mountain Pose. From Mountain Pose, you’ll step or jump back to Downward-Facing Dog. Then you’ll flow through a series of poses that include Plank Pose, Chaturanga Dandasana, Upward-Facing Dog, and Downward-Facing Dog.
The sun salutation can be adapted to fit your own level of practice. If you’re a beginner, you can keep the poses simple. If you’re more experienced, you can add in more challenging poses.
The sun salutation is a great way to get your heart rate up and to warm up the body and mind. It’s also a great way to practice your breath control and to focus on your practice.
