Title: 2 Powerful Poses You Must Try

Hello,

When it comes to yoga, there are more poses than 
you’ll likely ever get through. So how do you know 
where to start?  You’ll want to learn the foundational poses that are 
typically part of a regular routine. Once you master 
those, you can move to more challenging poses.

Here are 2 you should learn to master:  The Tree Pose
Step 1: Begin by standing with your feet together, 
inner ankles and knees touching.    Step 2: Bring your hands together at the center of your 
chest.  Exhale deeply, focusing on the pose.  Step 3: Shift your weight onto your right foot, then 
bend your left knee and move it upwards. Keep your spine 
stretched, reach down and clasp your left ankle. Place 
the sole of your left foot on your inner right thigh.  Step 4:  Stand tall, keeping your focus on the wall in 
front of you in a straight line.
 Step 5:  Press your left foot into your inner right thigh 
while pressing your right thigh into your foot to strength 
your core and improve your balance.

Step 6:  If you feel balanced, raise your arms above your 
head with your palms together. Breathe and hold for 
5-8 breaths.  Step 7:  Release, slowing exhaling while bring your arms 
down. Release your legs.
 Step 8: Repeat on the other side.

And also, 

The Cobra Pose
This pose will open your chest and strengthen your core 
while giving you an instant energy boost.

Here’s how to do it:  Step 1: Start by lying on your stomach, chin rested on 
the floor and your palms flat, tucked under your shoulders.  

Keep your legs together.
 Step 2:  Pull up your knees, squeezing your thighs and 
pressing your pubic bone down into the floor.

Step 3:  Without using your arms for support, inhale and 
lift your chest and head from the floor. Make sure to keep 
your neck in line with your spine.
 Step 4:  Keeping your elbows close to your sides, press down 
into the palms of your hands using only your arms to lift you.  

Drop your shoulders down and back while pressing your chest 
forward.
 Step 5:  Breathe and hole for 3-5 breaths.

Step 6: Release, exhaling and lowering your chest and head 
to the floor slowly and evenly.  

In tomorrow’s email, we’ll talk about the importance that 
meditation plays in yoga.
