Yoga is a great idea for alternative exercises in theory, however! Yoga can be scary for those who are not flexible at all. But don't let your lack of flexibility stop you from trying yoga, which is amazing for your mind and body. Here are 10 yoga poses for us that are not flexible at all.
Cat poses
A posing cat is one pretty easy to master. Get on all the crawls and curve your back up like a furious cat will. Cats pose is great for focusing on your breathing and stretching your back. Not much to it but super simple and is a great way to dip your feet into the world of yoga.
Cow Pose
Cow poses tend to go hand-on with cat poses. Usually you will transition from a cat posing to pose a cow and repeat to be determined about the reps. Yoga breathing is an important part of yoga, it is what your center is and is the reason there are so many benefits to your mind as well as your body. Breathing Yoga can take time to get used to so this is the perfect pose to get the hang of it before you make your way to more advanced poses.
Child poses
A child posing, or a child resting, is a Super casual pose that allows you to relate to how your body feels after or before your workout. Sit at your knees and stretch your hands forward and rest your head to the ground. This is my fav personal pose to hold on. It is relaxing and super easy. It also allows you to open the hip joint and relieve tension. Child posing does not require much flexibility at all. The only modification you may have to make based on your level of flexibility, well your bottom part is not sitting against your calves, or your head is not touching the ground. In this case you can accumulate your fist under your forehead.
Happy Babies
Happy babies are very easy and allow for some modifications to fit the degree of flexibility. Lie down on your back, bend your feet and hold your feet over your hips with your hands. If you can't hold your feet, you can hold your hamstrings or your calves. Happy babies open up the hip joints and allow your spine to relax along the ground. You can rock from side to side if you want to massage your spine. It's very easy and comfortable posing to hold. This requires very little flexibility, and anyone can achieve it.
Bridge pose
It is a pose that you can turn into exercise. Lie down on your back and push your hips to the sky. Hold this and focus on your breathing. If you are accustomed to the Pilates movement you will be familiar with this one. Just remember to keep your neck aligned with your chin to your chest. These poses vary from person to person based on how flexible your hips flexers game are. But that's okay, everyone's workouts are their own journey, so if you're flexible or not worried, with your workouts going to get there.
