Ensuring that each of us can easily incorporate asanas into our daily lives. This is his goal Lorenza Minola (pictured), certified yoga teacher and founder LoYoga app. To achieve this, we need to take care of the messages that the body sends us: “Theasanas (position) is one organ, no end. It is the asana that suits us and not the other way around. We respect the body and don’t expect to get to the positions immediately advanced. The small attentions that I will give to the description of the asanas will also allow you to engage in the lessons provocative without getting hurt and without thinking that yoga is not for us. We will create a space of awareness: the practice will help us learn to stay in the body, in the breath, in the present. There’s nothing better for managing the stress of everyday life than staying anchored Here and Nowsays Minola.

Adho Mukha Svanasana: Dog Facing Dog
This position is fundamental to compensate for movements within opening from the other asanas of the mini-practice. You can do it before and after each of the two positions. This asana works on the thymus gland, a fundamental gland of the immune system. When performing this, make sure your arms and legs are parallel and well rooted Earth. The goal is Open your chest well and stretch your back, so if you struggle to keep your legs straight rather fold them a bit, the important thing is that the column is nice and flat. Try to push your chest towards the ground. Keep your neck malleabledirect your gaze to your navel.
Urdvha Mukha Svanasana: Upward Facing Dog
This heart-opening asana also stimulates the thymus gland. It also gives flexibility to the back and massages the muscles abdominal organs. But if practiced incorrectly, it can lead to severe pain in the lumbar and/or cervical region. So here’s the warning: don’t bring it look to the sky but keep your head straight and the frontal gaze. Tighten your glutes and get strong in your arms so you don’t put too much weight on your lower back. Keep your knees lifted to avoid bending your back too much (the asana of cobra will come in time).
