Here is a detailed list of 5 best yoga poses for beginners. Yoga poses tone the physical body, and help with emotional well-being.

Tree Pose (Vrikshasana) is a beginner-friendly yoga pose that improves balance, concentration, and strengthens the legs and core.

Here’s how to practice Tree Pose:

• Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart.
• Shift weight to the left foot.
• Place the right foot on the inner left thigh or calf.
• Bring hands together at heart center or extend arms overhead.
• Find a focal point for balance.
• Hold for a few breaths.
• Switch sides and repeat.

“Remember to breathe deeply and engage your core muscles to help stabilize your body in Tree pose. If you find it challenging to balance, you can modify the pose by placing your foot on the inner ankle or keeping your toes lightly touching the ground for support. As you progress, you can gradually work towards placing your foot higher on your thigh.”
