AsanasVirabhadrasana I (Warrior I): Strength with an Open Heart
A powerful lunge that builds stamina in the legs, opens the hip flexors and lifts the chest toward the sky.
AsanasVirabhadrasana II (Warrior II): Open Hips and Steady Gaze
A wide, grounded warrior that strengthens the legs, opens the inner thighs and trains you to stay calm in effort.
AsanasPadahastasana (Hand-to-Foot Pose): A Standing Forward Fold for the Spine
Fold from the hips, let the head hang, and give the hamstrings and lower back a long, quiet stretch.
AsanasUtthita Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle): A Long Line of Strength
From a warrior stance, the side body becomes one diagonal — a deep stretch for the hips, waist and shoulders.
AsanasPadmasana (Lotus Pose): A Steady Seat for Meditation
The classic meditation seat. Hips open, spine tall, mind settles — but only when the knees are ready. Approach it patiently.
AsanasBaddha Konasana (Bound Angle / Butterfly Pose): Open Hips, Quiet Mind
Soles of the feet together, knees dropping out — a classic hip opener that also soothes the lower back and pelvic region.
AsanasGomukhasana (Cow Face Pose): Open Shoulders, Stacked Hips
Knees stack, arms clasp behind the back — a deep opener for tight shoulders, triceps and outer hips.
AsanasBalasana (Child’s Pose): A Resting Fold Between Efforts
Kneel, fold forward, and let the back round. The pose every tired body already knows how to do.
