My Favorite Yoga Poses

I love Yoga.

The Yoga practiced in the U.S. is a westernized version.

As a senior, Yoga helps keep me flexible, plus, there are many other benefits.

Yoga saved my life.

After a bad fall, I had difficulty walking. After taking several Yoga classes and practicing at home (with medical approval), my flexibility improved a lot. My walking gait is smoother, my back pain is less.

Plus, I like the emphasis on breathing and good posture.

 

These are my favorite Yoga poses / Asanas:

 

Mountain pose / Tadasana

 

Standing Forward Pose / Uttanasana

 

Corpse Pose (Supine Full Stretch) / Shavasana

 

Supine Butterfly / Supta Baddha Konasana

 

Shoulder Blade Pinch

 

Lower Back Press

 

Supine Twist Pose / Supta Matsyendrasana

 

Supine Knee-to-Chest / Apanssana

 

Knee-to-Chest Roll / Pawan Muktasana

 

Ab Crunches

 

Seated Butterfly / Baddha Konssana

 

Seated Forward Fold / Paschimottanasana

 

Twisted Sage Pose / Marichyasana III

 

Cat / Cow Pose / Marjaryasana

 

Baby Pose / Garbhasana
