Welcome

Picking the right yoga flow routines can provide fantastic benefits like developing a hot muscular toned body and improving posture that helps you stand out in the crowd.

Practicing postures in a set order increases the effectiveness as well as the learning the complimentary relationship between each one.

I prefer mostly standing flowing postures with some balancing as they build stamina and strength which should be practiced as often as possible because you can really benefit from the toning the muscles, tissues, ligaments, joints and nerves.

Routines should enable students to practice systematically and should be able to feel like you are progressing.

It would be better to practice for a shorter time each day rather than a longer session once or twice a week.

The aim should not only be to have a physical but also a spiritual rhythm to your practice.

Work at an even pace learning about postures and their effects on the body and then proceeding with knowledge and understanding to the next routine.

As you progress your flexibility and stamina improve and postures can be held for longer periods of time.

Some critical points when developing your yoga flow

• Remember it takes a few seconds for the muscles to relax to go deeper into poses.
• The effects of the posture is not instant and timing is dependent on energy and awareness.
• Tailoring a routine to suit your lifestyle is easily done with yoga.

One the the most famous ones known to most yoga and non yoga people is the Sun Salutation.

It uses a number of forward and backward bending interconnecting each pose.

It starts as a standing pose and you work your way close to the ground and them back up again.

It provides excellent development for breathing, toning the body, it uses body weight resistance and makes use of stabilization muscles like your waist so basically it helps all round so I highly recommend this exercise to begin with.

As you learn of the many different asanas you can create your own sequence by placing them in order of opposing but complimenting poses.

Rather than write down each step of the Sun Sequence here is a link to video which shows you how to do the full Sun Salutation Sequence.

The best sequence for toning the body are the ones that defy gravity where you need to use your body weight moving through the largest possible distance.

Like the Archer pose, I hope this points you in the right direction for future growth.
