In the video, “Yoga For Complete Beginners – 20 Minute Home Yoga Workout!”, Adriene welcomes viewers to a beginner yoga sequence that requires nothing more than their body and an open mind. She begins with Sukhasana, or the easy pose, and encourages viewers to check in with their breath and make organic movements. The focus is on alignment and learning basics, but ultimately it is about self-expression and the journey.
Adriene guides viewers through a beginner’s yoga practice that focuses on body awareness and deepening the breath. The practice involves using the Anjali Mudra hand position to lift the sternum and engage the shoulders, while also finding a sense of ease and calmness. The practice also includes interlacing the fingertips and following the breath while pressing the palms forward, up, and back. The overall goal is to find a balance between active engagement and softness in the body.
Adriene guides viewers through various poses, including cat-cow and spinal flex, and encourages them to take their time and not rush, and to stay connected to their breath throughout the practice. She also demonstrates the Tadasana pose, which involves standing with feet hip-width apart and toes pointing forward to connect with the earth and feel strong. The author also suggests finding self-expression in the pose and then returning to center before repeating the pose on the other side.
Adriene emphasizes the importance of maintaining a beginner’s mindset and finding movement in the body. She guides readers through a yoga sequence, emphasizing the importance of experiencing the poses and growing into them rather than striving for perfection. They encourage readers to challenge their center of gravity and focus on their breath. The author also acknowledges that showing up for yoga can be difficult, but congratulates readers for making the effort. The video ends with Adriene encouraging viewers to watch the video and return to it once a day for a week. She also recommends checking out the ‘Foundations of Yoga’ series for beginners and leaving comments or questions. The reader is encouraged to subscribe to the channel and the author signs off with “Namaste.”
This video is a great starting point for anyone looking to embark on their yoga journey. It’s beginner-friendly, easy to follow, and emphasizes the importance of self-expression and personal growth. So roll out your mat and start building the foundation of your yoga practice today!
