A typical yoga sequence has a warm-up, 1-3 rounds of sun salutations, 1-3 rounds of standing poses, a peak pose, and a cool-down. Meditation and Pranayama can be practiced at the beginning or end of your sequence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you could choose to start with a warm-up, move into your standing poses, then flow into seated ones, and ultimately to asanas that require you to lie down on the floor\/mat as you prepare for your final resting pose in Savasana (or Corpse Pose).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety\"><\/span><b>Safety<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is quite closely tied to your experience with yoga and how things feel in your body. Everyone has a different body type and no one can perform every yoga pose, which is why it is important to listen to your body and what feels good or right for you. You should always focus on how you feel in a pose rather than how you look in order to optimize your personal safety when practicing yoga. As a beginner, there are clearly poses you can\u2019t do and should not attempt without professional instruction and support as they could result in injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seasoned practitioners who have been practicing yoga for longer will have developed more strength, balance, and flexibility, allowing them to move their bodies and limbs into these challenging positions. We recommend incorporating yoga props such as blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets as they will help you modify postures for your body and level.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Challenge\"><\/span><b>Challenge<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While yoga is generally considered to be a gentle exercise or practice, it is still meant to be challenging both physically and mentally.
