A simple sequence of yoga postures and a few minutes of regular practice can go a long way toward maintaining optimal health. This video features a guided yoga routine designed to tone the entire body and bring about greater flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination, as well as a clearer mind. It provides stretches that will move virtually every joint in the body, and ends with a guided relaxation.
For those who are just beginning hatha yoga, or for anyone who wants a gentle rejuvenating practice, this is an ideal sequence. It is comprehensive but does not require the flexibility, strength, or stamina of more difficult practices, and it is an excellent preparation for all yoga asanas. Some of the exercises are good training for specific postures; others stretch or strengthen in general preparation for later work.
The series of postures in this video corresponds to the first asana sequence in the book Yoga: Mastering the Basics.
