Proper Yoga with Yoga Sequences Movements

Yoga Sequences consist of a number of yoga poses done in sequence, usually in counter pose, meaning the yoga poses are either in opposition to one another or in variations of increasing level of movements. In Yoga Sequences, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is the most noted for its six yoga pose sets while the Surya or the Sun Salutation is the most common among all the Yoga Sequences.

Bikram Yoga is also popular for its set of 26 successive yoga poses.

The following are the three best Yoga Sequences in a yoga workout.

The Pelvic Tilt Pelvic tilt is one of the yoga poses that consists of very subdued yet quite effective actions that enhance the support muscles surrounding the lower back, specially the abdominal muscles. This is a excellent yoga pose not just for beginners, but also to people looking for relief from lower back ache. This yoga pose can be done with your body in a supine position on the floor or standing upright with the back to the wall.

Although the standing version is slightly more difficult, it is an excellent choice for pregnant women who has discomforts when lying on their backs. The Cat-Cow Stretch This yoga pose starts with hands and knees on the floor; move the wrists under the shoulders and the knees under the hips.

The biggest thing to remember in undertaking yoga positions is body alignment. So, imagine the spine as a straight line connecting the shoulders to the hips. Try to picture the line stretching further frontward through the top of the head and to the rear through the tail bone. Then keep the neck the natural extension of the spine.

Downward Facing Dog To perform this series of yoga poses, all you need to do is come on all fours with wrists underneath the shoulders and the knees underneath the hips. At that time, wind the toes in and push back elevating the hips and flattening the legs. Spread the fingers and ground down from the forearms into the fingertips. Then comply with these actions: • Outwardly turn top of the arms broadening the collarbones. • Allow the head hang; move the shoulder blades away from the ears to your hips. • Engage the quadriceps strongly to take the weight off the arms, making this a resting pose. • Rotate the thighs inward, keep the tail high and sink your heels towards the floor. • Make sure that the length between your hands and feet is correct by coming forward to somewhat of a plank position. Bear in mind that the width between the hands and feet should be consistent with these two poses. In Down Dog, do not move the feet in the direction of the hands to have the heels on the floor. This tends to happen gradually as the muscles lengthen.

In doing the Yoga Sequences, it is important to keep all the basic yoga techniques in mind, such as, proper breathing, and having a nice, quiet environment free from distraction. Supposing that you have these, then you’re all set to begin.
