Yoga Moves You're Doing Wrong

If anyone tells you yoga isn’t a real workout, they’re wrong.

We’ve been to many yoga classes that were so tough, we could hardly walk the next day!

It takes time to become a seasoned yogi, so you’re bound to get some positions wrong.

you could always ask them to show you the proper position on someone else.

Here are some common positions people get wrong and tips on how you could self-correct.

Warrior I

Any time you’re lunging, your knees should align with your ankles.

If your knee extends over your ankle, you’re doing it wrong.

InWarrior I, you want to double-check you’re squaring your hips with your shoulders.

If your pelvis is facing outward instead of forward, this pose will be much more difficult to hold.

This pose seems easy, but so many people get it wrong.

Just standing should be simple, right?

You’ll feel much better.

Otherwise known as a low plank,chaturanga dandasanais a tough pose to hold.

Planking isn’t as effortless as it seems.

When done incorrectly, it can put a lot of strain on your wrists and lower back.

Instead, tighten your core, pull your body upward, and distribute weight into your legs.

This will take the pressure off your upper body and make the pose worth your while.

But if you don’t sit just right, you’ll strain your hips instead of stretching them.

Keep your toes together, widen your knees, and push your hips forward.

This will allow you to get a deeper, more beneficial stretch.
