Day 2

‘Get Started’ Beginner Yoga Challenge

Easy pose or Sukhasana in sankrit, is well how it sounds easy. 

However this is when yoga poses can be tricky, this may be easy for let’s say Japanese people who often sit on the floor. 

This isn’t so easy if you have a knee injury or have very tight hips, which can happen if you’re a runner or a cyclist. 

What is the cure to get into this pose and you have tight hips? Well you’re going to have to practice the rest of this yoga challenge and perhaps, try out one of my weekly yoga videos and for sure this pose will become easier with time. 

This is a great pose to introduce to you, if you’re new to yoga because without a doubt, each lesson will start and end in this position.

You essentially just need to sit cross legged and that’s it. 

In the Day 2 video above, I show you some variations, if your knees are flying high (not that this is a problem). 

I also show you how to make this more comfortable if you have lower back issues, if you don’t have a block you can always use pillows or a rug. 

Easy pose has many benefits here’s a list of them below.

Benefits:

• Practising Sukhasana helps to stretch your spinal cord. 
• This pose helps to broaden the chest and the collarbone.
• It brings flexibility to the ankle, knee and the hips.
• It helps to keep back muscles strong and improves the posture of the body.
• It’ll make you feel physically and mentally balanced.
• Easy pose can help to reduce fatigue and tiredness.
• It helps to stretch the back and neck.

So give the video above a try and if you enjoyed it, let me know!
