Your thighs should rotate slightly inward. Engage your quadriceps so your knees and top of your thighs draw up and back. Ground all ten toes on the ground, the edges of your feet, and you heels.

This pose is great for improving posture and relieving pain when practiced regularly.

Standing Half Forward Bend (Ardha Uttanasana).Half Lord of the Fishes (Matsyendrasana).High Lunge (Utthita Ashwa Sanchalanasana).Downward Facing Dog (Adho mukha śvānāsana).We also created a video that covers almost all of the poses on this list PLUS 13 other yoga poses with modifications that is perfect for beginners! You can check that out below: No matter where you are in your practice, and especially if you are just starting out, these are perfect to start with. So that is why I’ve conjured up this list of 20 yoga poses for complete beginners. I know I couldn’t! Claiming these to be poses you should start with can be very discouraging to those that have just stepped onto their mat. When you’re first starting out, depending on your natural flexibility and background, you are not going to be able to do some of the “basic” poses like Pigeon Pose and Chaturanga. I see a lot of posts on beginner yoga poses that include poses that may be considered “basic” poses, but are not exactly beginner friendly. Are you completely new to yoga and looking where to get started? These beginner yoga poses are a great place to start in building a strong, successful yoga practice.
