This simple but comprehensive beginner's Yoga routine stretches the
hamstrings, calves, hip flexors and mid back while developing a strong
core and optimal postural alignment. The accessible sequence includes
basic yogic standing postures, forward bends, back bends, twists and
semi-inversions to promote structural integration and strengthening of
the different body parts. Low lunges combined with active back bends
help stretch the groin muscles and hip flexors, while opening the front
of the body and stimulating the thymus gland to boost immunity. Standing
and sitting squats strengthen the quads, loosen up tension in the
pelvic area and ensure healthy hip-joints. Standing and sitting twists
flush toxins from the lower abdomen and enkindle the fire of the
digestive system to melt unwanted fatty deposits. The focus of the
practice is on releasing obsolete belief structures and unwanted
negative build-up while grounding, centering and balancing.
