Regular practice of Yoga has a number of advantages. It helps your body get rid of a number of problems and at the same time, it also helps you remain calm and stress free. Apart from the well known physical and mental benefits of yoga, there is another special benefit that you can achieve. It can help you ensure perfect balance of your body. The yoga poses help you align your center of gravity in such an immaculate manner that you will never have to bother about losing your balance and tripping while you do something. Below are some of the yoga poses that should help.
Downward facing dog pose
You have to start by performing the Adho Mukh Svanasana or the Downward facing dog pose. You will have to form an inverted V, vis-a-vis the ground on your hips so that your hands become one point of the V, your legs become another point and your hips become the connecting point.
Cobra Pose
The dog pose should be followed by the Cobra pose or the Bhujangasana. This pose requires you to shape your body as if you are a snake. You have to lie on your belly and then raise the upper half of your body perpendicular to your lower half. All the while your hands should be on the ground.
Tree Pose
The Tree Pose or the Vrksasana is the next step. It is similar to the very simple Mountain Pose. The only difference is that you have to stand on your right foot and place your left sole on the inner portion of your right thigh.
Warrior Pose III
This should be followed by the Warrior Pose III or the Virabhadrasana III. In this yoga pose, you stand on your right leg in such a manner that the rest of your body forms a perpendicular bisector. Consider it as a T with a rather short vertical line.
Half Moon Pose
The next yoga pose is the Half Moon Pose or the Ardha Chandrasana. You have to rest your right arm and leg on ground so that they take your entire weight. Now stretch your left leg parallel to the ground and your right arm vertical to the ground.
Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose
Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose also known as Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana should be performed next. It is a bit complicated and will need practice. In the mountain pose, you should bring your left leg up and both hands down. Your right hand should be on the hip and with your left hand you should grab your left side toes.
This should be followed by the Intense Side Stretch Pose (Parsvottanasana), the Eagle Pose (Garudasana) , the Wild Thing (Vasisthasana variation) and should culminate into the Side Plank Pose (Vasisthasana) .
