Prone Yoga Poses

We consider that we have only touched the perimeter of information available on yoga. There is still a lot more to be learnt!

It is always a good idea to begin a series of poses with some easy, warm up positions. The single leg raise is a good way to start the session and prepare yourself for the following asanas. Leg raises are great for improving the tonus of your back and abdominal muscles. In order to effectively do this movement you should keep your back "glued" to the floor and not allow your spine to bend and your shoulders to help in the lifting motion. With palms resting on the floor, try to raise your legs slowly, while keeping control. The neck should remain relaxed during this motion and your lungs should be allowed to breathe freely.
