- 1). Take off your socks and shoes. Yoga is never performed with shoes or socks. Wearing them gives you less range of motion and unnecessary resistance. Also, when your feet are bare, you have better grip strength.
- 2). Assume a comfortable position. This can be on the floor, on a bed or outside on flat ground. If you are on a hard surface, sit on a yoga mat. Sit with your legs out in front of you.
- 3). Bend your knees and bring your legs in toward your body in similar fashion to sitting Indian style. The sides of your legs will be pressed against the floor. Now lift one leg and stack it on top of the other while tucking your feet in behind your knees.
- 4). Sit up tall. Make sure your shoulders are square and your back is straight. This is very important. Posture is everything in yoga.
- 5). Place your hands on your legs. You can gently place them on the tops of your thighs down by your knees with the palms facing up. From this point, feel free to touch your index fingers to your middle or ring fingers if you choose.
- 6). Breathe consciously. Take long, slow diaphragmatic breaths. When you breathe, envision your ribs hugging your lungs. Try to release all the thoughts in your mind and just breath. Be present and concentrate on nothing but your breath. This is really good for stress reduction.
