Video - 10 Minute Beginner Workout

This is a very easy modified beginner yoga video that will give you a feel for the lengthening and stretching properties of yoga, modified for those who may just be starting yoga and want an easy and gentle introduction to the practice. If you've ever wanted to try yoga but thought it would be too difficult for you, this one is for you!  It's also a great place to start for those who haven't worked out much for a while, and are getting back into exercising. These gentle movements will help get the blood flowing, and start to limber up your joints and muscles. It can also be used as a warmup for a more advanced yoga routine or other type of workout.

This short and easy routine gives you no excuse for not doing at least some form of exercise today! Ease into exercising with this video, and get ready for more next week!

Beginners Yoga Free Video Series

If you've been following along throughout the beginners yoga workout series we've posted over the past few weeks, we thought you might find it handy to have links to the whole series all in one place. However, keep in mind you can always just do one segment for a couple of good yoga exercises, if you don't have time for the whole set - it is perfectly okay to just do one or two of the videos at a time.

Video - Basic Yoga Workout for Beginners - Parts 5 & 6

Here are the final two poses in the beginners yoga series (we also included Part 6, which is just the final ending and credits, but Part 5 cuts off rather abruptly).

We hope you  have enjoyed this free yoga video series!  As she mentions at the end, even just practicing one or two poses per day can be beneficial, and that's why this was broken up into so many pieces - so if you only have time for a few poses, you can just do a couple of them at a time. However, if you would like the whole series in order, check back next weekend, when we will post links to the entire series, so you can go through the whole thing in order if you like.

Namaste!

Video - Basic Yoga Workout for Beginners - Part 4

Here is the next video in our beginners yoga series (notice we don't use the word "dummies," - this yoga set is definitely for real - it's just very well explained and demonstrated in a thorough way. Plus, you're not a dummy if you haven't gotten around to trying yoga yet - you just haven't yet discovered what you're missing!)

Today's section finishes up Downward Dog, and moves through some great back stretches and exercises such as Cobra pose, Child's Pose, and the Seated Spine Twist. These exercises relieve stress and strain in the back, strengthen your back muscles, and improve posture. Try these, and you may want to watch the demonstration once through first, as she does a lot of great explanation and demo of proper breathing, positioning, and technique.  Enjoy!

Video - Basic Yoga Workout for Beginners

Here is an excellent (and FREE) yoga workout for beginners I found online. The workout is broken up into about 10 minute segments, and I will post each piece of the workout over the next few weeks, so be sure to check back for the next one!

For those who think yoga is too hard, this is a great way to introduce yourself to the practice in a simple way. The instructor is very professional and offers good yoga technique, while still offering tips and modifications for those of different fitness levels. These are high-quality videos, very professional, and gentle - these basic exercises should be suitable for all fitness levels, but I must give the disclaimer to of course consult your own healthcare practitioner before starting any new workout.
