Starting Yoga

Before we begin, I'd like to enumerate different categories of asans (postures). Asans can be categorised into 5 different categories listed below:

1. Asans for Meditation & Concentration.
2. Asans practiced in the standing pose.
3. Asans practiced in the sitting position.
4. Asans practiced while laying on the stomach.
5. Asans practiced while laying on the back.

There are countless number of asans which can be practiced but doing all of them is not advisable. A well-defined Yoga schedule should cover enough asans to cover all the body parts. Hence, starting this post I'll write about the Yoga asans (or a schedule) which my mother followed and taught me. Asans covered in this schedule will cover almost all the body parts and would solve the purpose.


For maximum results, please try and follow the asans in the sequence enumerated below:
