Yoga is an ancient practice that has been around for centuries. It’s known as a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that can help improve overall health.
Here are 10 key points that you should know about yoga.
First, it’s important to find a comfortable spot with the right temperature and atmosphere. This will help you stay focused and properly aligned throughout your practice.

Third, know the basics. It’s helpful to have a basic understanding of yoga as there are various forms of it and knowing which one is best for you is essential.
Fourth, pay attention to your breath. Breathing techniques in yoga are important as they help you relax and stay focused throughout your practice.
Fifth, don’t be afraid to take breaks. If you feel like you need to rest or adjust your poses, take a few breaths and make sure the pose is still comfortable.

10 poses that will benefit your overall health and relaxation.
Let’s start with the Mountain Pose. Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Press firmly into the soles of your feet and spread your toes wide. Feel how grounding this pose can be.
Our next pose is the Downward-facing Dog. Place your palms on the ground about shoulder-width apart and step back with your feet. Make sure your arms are straight and press your chest towards your thighs. Feel the stretching from this pose and hold the posture.
Now, let’s move onto the Cobra pose. Lie on your stomach with your toes pointed and press the tops of your feet into the ground. Place your hands on either side of your chest and slowly use your arms to lift your chest off the ground. Feel the stretch in your spine.
The fourth pose is the Plank. Start on your hands and knees and then extend both arms straight out so that your palms are flat on the ground, directly below your shoulders. Now tuck your toes and straighten your legs, bringing your body into a straight line from your head to heels. Hold this stance for a few moments and enjoy the strength it brings you.
For our fifth pose, we will do a Triangle Pose. Stand up straight with your feet about hip width apart. Then, stretch one arm up towards the ceiling with the other extended over to the side and your body tilted over to one side as far as comfortable. To finish, keep your hips facing forward, and look up towards the extended arm's fingertips.
Next is the Warrior II pose. Step one foot forward while keeping your feet around 3-4 feet apart. Extend both arms out to either side, with one slightly above shoulder level and the other parallel to the floor. Bend you back foot, look towards your front hand, and feel the strength building in your legs and arms.
The Half Moon Pose is our next pose. Start by standing tall with your feet close together and then lunge one leg back. Take a deep breath as you lift both arms above your head, simultaneously extending one leg to the side and bringing the other leg in line with your torso. Hold this pose and balance yourself throughout. Don’t forget to breathe deeply and relax as you come into this posture.
The Seated Forward Bend is coming up next. Begin by sitting down with both legs extended in front of you with a slight bend in each knee joint. Now slowly lean forward, allowing gravity to guide you, arms extended in front until appropriately stretched.
Moving onto our final two poses, we will do a Child's Pose followed by a Ragdoll Pose. For the Child's Pose, sit back on your heels while slowly folding forward until you can rest your forehead on the ground in front of you. Take as many deep breaths as you need as you relax down into this position. To end, come into a Ragdoll Pose by standing on both feet with a soft bend in each knee joint. Then fold forward, allowing your head and shoulders to hang comfortably and release any tension or stress built within the body throughout this class.
