Home/ Free Yoga Positions

These free yoga positions are a good place for you to start.

In this section I will be giving you several basic yoga positions that you can use to start your yoga training.

The book pictured just to the left is an excellent resource for you as well, it will give you a very clear understanding of the bone and muscle alignment in each pose. I highly recommend checking it out. I am really glad that I got it. It helped me alot in my training.

I would like to thank Kru Nui (who you can see in the Sun Salutation page of this section) For taking some time to let me photograph her for this site. She is a fantastic yoga teacher and a very good friend.

If any of you are in Thailand and would like yoga lessons from Nui you can feel free to contact her on my contact page, Just fill the form and I will pass on the information.

She gives both Private and Group classes at very good rates. When she has the time, right now she is teaching 6 classes a day 7 days a week.

Now the first thing is the Sun Salutation

The Benefits of Sun Salutation.

1. It warms up the body and muscles. This is very important because without a proper warmup you risk injury.
2. It helps to focus the mind and brings you mind to the poses you are doing as you go through, then with this focus it helps you benefit more from the poses you will do after.
3. It raises your heart rate just enough to put you in the fat burning zone. This will help you loose the fat you want to loose (however remember that even though you are in the zone you still need to burn the calories, if weight loss is the goal I would suggest 30-45 times going through the sun salutation, not just the 3-5 times for a warmup)

To learn the Sun Salutation go to my Sun Salutation Page. There are pictures and descriptions of each pose in order.
