Yoga session- Sequence of poses

Yoga requires a sequence of exercises to be practiced properly, for best results. Its not only important to practice these exercises but there has to be maintained rhythm which allows the body to flow from one posture to another, without any hindrance and jerks. You should always start the yoga session with the Corpse pose. This pose is regularly repeated between different poses and also as the final pose before you end the session. At times when you feel that your energy is draining out, change to the standard poses of yoga, which is also known as the easy pose. It is a great for recharging your energy and a nice posture for meditation. Remember not to arch your back while you are trying to let your mind regain your mental strength.

 

Keep on doing the warming up exercises and try relaxing the neck muscles, as these are topmost points of main line of energy that is the spine. This should be followed by the shoulder lifting exercises. You may even consider trying some exercises for the eyes which are quite helpful in giving strength to the eyesight. The sun salutation pose is advised for stretching the body muscles before you plan to move on to the complex asanas. Follow this with les raising exercises which enhance the endurance levels, while improving your body flexibility, whereas the head stand posture can help in resting important body parts like the heart. You can try another alternative to this pose which is the shoulder stand and is good for the lower back muscles and the spine of your body.

You can choose to do the plough or the bride poses which are great for providing flexibility to your body. Though these appear to be complex poses, they can be practiced with gentle movements. If you are not able to practice this pose with perfection, don't be disappointed, because usually it takes some time in developing the flexibility and strength to accomplish these poses perfectly. The bend pose is suggested to stimulate the nervous system. For toning the chest muscles and your lungs, consider the fish pose. Some women even try the cobra pose during menstrual irregularities, as the lower abdomen area and pelvic region is stimulated, which improves the circulation and also massages the internal organ of the body.

The locust pose can also be considered for making the lower back strong, as it has demonstrated positive effects on the muscles of the abdomen. It is also known to be a remedy for constipation. You can keep your back strong and flexible with the aid of the bow pose. And it is also helpful in controlling fats in the body. Half spinal twist pose can also be pursued in your exercises.

For strong arms and joints, the crow pose is recommended, which is also great for breathing properly, because it causes the chest to expand, hence allowing better breathing. These should be followed by hands and feet pose along with the triangle pose. Finally, the corpse pose should be performed which will let your body rest and allow it to regain the lost energy during the exercises.
