Beginner Asanas

The 6 Beginner Asanas

Hatha yoga consists of many asanas with varying difficulty levels. Some of these are designed for more seasoned practitioners, while some are beginner asanas.

When you are new to yoga, it is very wise to become fully competent with the beginner asanas before moving onto more difficult ones.

Today, I would brief you about a few of the beginner asanas / poses, some of which we have already discussed earlier.

1. Yogasana / Padmasana (Lotus pose)


2. Bhujangasana (the cobra / snake pose)


3. Ardakurmakasana (Half tortoise Pose)


4. Shavasana (corpse pose)


5. Tadaasana (mountain pose)


6. Balaasana (child pose)


These beginner asanas are a good starting point for learning Hatha yoga; before long you'll be able to add other beginner asanas, as well as more complicated ones.
