Start phase

Start with gentle stretches and simple poses. Move slowly and hold each pose within a comfortable range.

STEP 3

End phase

Finish by lying down comfortably and releasing tension. Once your breathing is calm, check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Holding and linking poses works your flexibility, balance, and core. Your whole body is engaged as you support your own weight.

Do not force a pose beyond a comfortable range. Stop and adjust if you feel pain in your joints or lower back.

STEP 6

Breathing

Breathe slowly through your nose and match your breath to your movements. Keep breathing while holding poses instead of holding your breath.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent doing yoga. Do not enter the number of poses or hold times.
