In the practice of Hatha yoga there are more than 300 poses, it is not easy to reduce this number to several basic ones, but it is these 10 asanas that will give you a good start and lead you on the right path. If you perform each of these poses for 5-10 breathing cycles, then you get an excellent program for beginners for every day.<\/p>\n<h2>Rules and guidelines<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Follow safety precautions: do not go beyond the current capabilities of your body and remember that pain is a sign of a stop. After all, yoga teaches us to establish contact with our body, assuming its gentle and gradual improvement.<\/li>\n<li>Do not overdo it. If after class you only dream of collapsing on the sofa from fatigue, the load is chosen incorrectly. Correct yoga practice is one after which you feel a surge of energy or, at least, a pleasant languor, but not exhaustion.<\/li>\n<li>Regular practice is the key to success. You can start with two to three hours a week and gradually build up the load. If you don't have time at all, try incorporating a daily 20-minute yoga exercise into your schedule first.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Mountain Pose (Tadasana)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-297163-607d6c91c28de.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-bGlnaHRib3g=\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"  title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-297163-607d6c91c28de.jpg\" alt=\"10 asanas for beginners to master first.

Then lower your hips a little so that the pelvis practically reaches the floor (when stretching allows), be sure to watch your heels so that they do not come off the ground. Place your palms on the surface in front of you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-297163-607d6ca3cbd3c.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-bGlnaHRib3g=\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"  title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-297163-607d6ca3cbd3c.jpg\" alt=\"10 asanas for beginners to master first. The most important yoga asanas. A Brief Guide to Asanas\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The shoulders are straightened back, stretching slightly downward, but there is no need to pinch the cervical spine. The head looks up.<\/p>\n<p>In the case when balance is completely lost, you need to take your hands to the state of namaste, and rest your elbows on your shins.<\/p>\n<p>For the correct exit from the pose, you need to put your hands on your hips, straighten your knees, rising to Tadasana.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Hold this pose for up to 7 breathing cycles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Raven Pose Complication<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>To make it harder, press your palms against each other, create resistance, take your knees further back, stretching the inner thigh and opening the pelvis.<\/li>\n<li>If you wish, you can complicate the technique by adding the following dynamic: For the final Crow Pose, roll from heel to toe and back again. Try doing the dynamics slowly and smoothly. This will help you to work even more effectively on maintaining balance, tone the ankle joints and strengthen the muscles of the lower leg.<\/li>\n<li>Remember that muscle tension should be comfortable for you. Observing the principle of Ahimsa, be careful with your body, let the whole practice be soft and pleasant for you.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, breathe with the help of the Ujayi technique &#8220;(Skt. &#8211; &#8216;upward, outward directed, leading to success'), lengthening each inhalation and exhalation. The deeper and fuller your breathing, the more prana will circulate throughout your body, filling you with energy. Ujjayi will help to feel the sound vibrations, energize, calm the mind and increase concentration.<\/li>\n<li>For additional concentration, add Drishti (Skt &#8211; &#8216;look, intention') &#8211; the concentration of the gaze on one point. Drishti allows you to increase your concentration in the asana, physical and mental presence here and now. This will help you to collect your whole body and attention, to focus as much as possible on the practice of Kakasana.<\/li>\n<li>Choose one of the following points to concentrate your gaze: 1) Nasagra drishti &#8211; gaze at the tip of the nose 2) Brumadhya &#8211; gaze between the eyebrows 3) Urdhva Antara &#8211; gaze up.<\/li>\n<li>If you're good at keeping balance, try closing your eyes and immersing yourself even more into the sensations of your body. Observe the smallest changes throughout the body, pleasant stretching of the muscles, a straight back with strong muscles along the spine, movements of the abdomen and chest during breathing. Feel how the vital energy flows throughout the body, moves along the entire spine, on inhalation &#8211; from the coccyx to the neck and head, on exhalation &#8211; it flows down. Observe the subtle sensations in the body, calm the mind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali it is said: &#8220;Prayatnashaithilya\u0331nantasama\u0331pattibhya\u0331m&#8221;, which means &#8220;Asana is mastered by relaxation of tension and meditation on the Akantha snake.&#8221; To improve the body and mind, it is necessary to overcome a certain effort and tension in the body. The asana for meditation should be comfortable and stable. At the same time, the mind concentrates on Ananta (infinity). The meditation posture must be held without effort and unnecessary tension.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Raven Pose<\/h2>\n<p>Regular performance of the crow pose in yoga has the following effect:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Strengthens the muscles of the hands, wrists and abdomen. The fingers also get stronger.<\/li>\n<li>Normalizes digestion.<\/li>\n<li>Normalizes respiratory function.<\/li>\n<li>The pose helps to stretch the upper back muscles.<\/li>\n<li>Activates the activity of internal organs.<\/li>\n<li>Improves the sense of balance.<\/li>\n<li>Promotes opening of the groin area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To perform the technique as efficiently as possible, fix your attention on a specific object or &#8220;Drishti&#8221;. This technique helps to focus mentally and physically on being present in the present moment, without being distracted by internal dialogue and extraneous thoughts.<\/p>\n<h2>List of restrictions and contraindications<\/h2>\n<p>Raven pose is contraindicated if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>there is pain in the shoulder or wrist area;<\/li>\n<li>suffer from severe headaches and insomnia;<\/li>\n<li>diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are also a number of additional restrictions for performing the technique:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The exercise is performed before meals, on an empty stomach.<\/li>\n<li>Do not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes before exercising.<\/li>\n<li>Do not go to the bathhouse or sauna three hours before training and three hours after it.<\/li>\n<li>Do not practice at elevated temperatures.<\/li>\n<li>Women should not do the exercise in the early days of their period.<\/li>\n<li>If you have had a serious injury in the recent past, postpone the session until you have fully recovered.<\/li>\n<li>Do not practice if you feel pain or discomfort in your body.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Is it possible to perform kakasana for pregnant women<\/h2>\n<p>During the execution of kakasana, the abdominal muscles are actively working, which negatively affects pregnancy. Exercise makes the abdominal muscles work actively, so it cannot be performed during the period of bearing a child.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of pregnancy, kakasana can provoke pain in the back and lower back, uterine tone or miscarriage. In the last weeks, crow pose can cause premature birth. Being in an inverted position during pregnancy also negatively affects the condition of the thoracic spine.<\/p>\n<h2>Runtime errors<\/h2>\n<p>Let's consider the main mistakes when entering a pose:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>body weight is completely transferred to the wrists;<\/li>\n<li>the body is not tilted strongly enough;<\/li>\n<li>the practitioner does not stretch his head forward or stoop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Significant Factors of Crow Pose in Yoga<\/h2>\n<p>Before the very beginning of the asana, it is necessary to warm up, perform light gymnastics.<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of an opportunity to lower your heels to the ground, it is quite acceptable to remain on your toes, or to put a folded blanket under your heels, or a twisted edge of the carpet.<\/p>\n<p>In the asana, the socks, as well as the knees, should be abducted, approximately 45 degrees directly from the hips. It is necessary to observe that the socks do not go inside, this error can have a bad effect on the ankle or kneecaps.<\/p>\n<p>The back must be kept straight, in no case rounding the chest.<\/p>\n<p>Breathing should be calm, no holding of breath is allowed.<\/p>\n<p>The muscles that are not involved in stabilizing the balance in the body must be relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>The facial muscles should also be relaxed. This fact will create a certain lightness in thoughts and body.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>We've covered 30 basic yoga postures for beginners.
