Welcome to Advanced Yoga Poses, Stage 3!
If you want to do some easy going yoga techniques,we have
them here in this thread.
There's Stage 1, Yoga For Beginners.
Stage 2: Intermediate Yoga Poses
& Last but not least Stage 3: Advance Yoga
The reason for the three stages is to make it easier on you,if you haven't
done yoga at all then the beginners is best for you c:
If you have some experiance with yoga,try the intermediate yoga poses.
And if you have done this all before,check out the advanced poses.
Always remember to stretch before you start any kind of exercises!
You can do this,its easy & simple and if you don't get it,keep trying c:
