For a lot of people, the first thing they think about when they hear about the term "yoga," is a view of painfully looking, hard-to-do stretching. While performing yoga can be challenging from time to time, it's not quite that hard either. Actually, a lot of yoga exercises are as easy as standing straight and making your arms raise to the ceiling. And if you think about your P.E. classes, a lot of poses are assured to feel known.
1. Mountain Pose - Tadasana
1. Tadasana or The Mountain Position
Yoga is a lot about being conscious about the stretching exercises. It is also about sensing all the muscle and breathing if you do your poses, like even a position as easy as the Mountain Position gives its own specific defiance. In the relation to yoga, the position implies placing your feet down six thumbs away of each other, with your legs muscles solid without being tight, your both shoulders in the same line with your thighs, and neck supple and right-angles.
2. Warrior I - Virbhadrasana I
Performing Mountain posture is the key for all the other standing postures, and to do this properly you have to breath slow and deep, once you get the hang of this, you will enjoy this position a lot.
The Warrior I pose is similar to the lunge position, both of your legs have to be positioned ahead of the rest of your body, pointing to the end of your yoga mat. Hold the left sole broad, with your toes pointing ahead. On inhalation, you bring your torso up, and you lift your arms up to the wall. Keep yourself in a 90-angle lunge on the right leg, reassuring that you fully engage your interior muscles.
The key to doing Warrior I properly is to keep your hips square and facing forward. A good rule of thumb is to check whether they're parallel to front side of your mat-you may have to widen your stance a bit to maintain your balance. You can place your feet or hands against a wall to strengthen your body awareness.
3. Adho Mukha Svanasana or The Downward Faced Dog Position

Although a perfect downward-facing dog takes time to master, beginners can focus on keeping their backs straight while holding the pose-the key is to keep a straight spine. And don't forget to breathe!
