Yoga poses for an open body and open mind

The mind always works better when it is open. Yoga for body and mind gives you the conviction and self-confidence to approach life positively.

For the first pose, sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. In one smooth motion, lean backwards so that your back is now on the floor and lift your legs together to fold your body at the waist and your legs over your head. You can raise your back on the floor and stretch your arms out behind your back to help you maintain your balance. This will take a bit of practise, but if you do it daily, you will become more flexible.

From the first position, you can bring your legs back from over your head. While resting on the curve of your back, lift the upper part of your body off the floor and join your feet together in a namaste. Place your hands over your feet so that your hands and feet are both in the namaste position. Remaining in this position, gently hold each big toe and pull it back. This is how you open your body.

Next, open your mind. While still holding your toes, pull your legs open and stretch them out on either side of your body. Don’t worry if you cannot get it the first few times. Practise will make perfect.

Bring your feet back together in namaste, bring them down to the floor and sit up. Finally, join your hands in namaste. You can end the routine here with a few deep breaths or continue with the video and do the full routine with Dr. Mehta.
