You could feel overpowered by the sheer number of poses and their strange-sounding titles as a beginner to yoga. Yoga, though, need not be challenging. You have already performed a yoga pose if you stretched your arms over your head when you first got out of bed this morning. Additionally, keep in mind that practicing yoga is a lifetime endeavor, allowing you plenty of opportunity to master a variety of postures.

As a result of the way our bodies naturally fold and bend into poses, many fundamental yoga postures feel quite familiar. Learn the basic yoga positions first, breathing mindfully and deliberately. When you're just starting off, it's a good idea to keep things straightforward.
