[Yakson House] 4 easy Yoga poses to do at home in 15 minutes !
Have any of you experienced Yoga before?
I know many of you have especially for girls.
The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root "Yuj", which means "to yoke" the spirit and
physical body together. Yoga has evolved over thousands of years to embrace a wide
range of styles and disciplines.
Yoga has been proven to lower blood pressure and increases strength and flexibility,
Yoga energizes our bodies and calms our minds.
You might think that Yoga and shortcuts go together, but remember that doing some
yoga is better than do nothing at all.
Try these four simple poses today because even quick 15 minutes on the mat can make
a difference.
1. Chair pose
Stand with your feet hip-width apart. pointing forward. Take a deep breath in and raise
your arms straight up over your head. Push your shoulders down and away from your
ears. Then, bend at your hips and lower yourself, as if sitting in a chair. Go as low as
you feel comfortable.
2. Forward Bend
From the Chair pose, reach your hands up to the ceiling and return to
standing. Breathe out, bend at your hips and lower your head as far toward
the floor as possible. Cross your forearms and hold your elbows. Breathe in,
lengthening the front of your body. as you breathe out, reach your hips
toward the ceiling.
3. Plank pose
Place your hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart, and walk your feet back until you
are in a straight plank position. Spread your fingers out as much as possible.
4. High lunge
Get into plank position. Bend at the knee, reaching one foot foward, placing it between
your hands. From this position, reach for the ceiling with both hands so your upper body
is now straight.
(Your back leg remains straight and your front leg is bent at 90 degrees.) Your lower-
body muscles should be engaged.
Hold this pose for eight breaths. Return to plank pose and then repeat on the other side.
