Finally, keeping the head on the floor for about eight seconds, the person rises up slowly, breathing in while approaching the initial position. Another pose is the hero pose, Viirasana, in which the person kneels down and sits on their heels. Then, the toes are bent downward and pointed backwards. Lifting the chest, stretching the arms towards the knees, and resting the back of the hands against the thighs completes the pose. To focus, the person looks down on an imaginary point directly on the tip of their nose.
Yoga is for people of all ages, fitness levels, and physical abilities.
Some classes focus on chanting and meditation, while others are more involved in physical yoga and the total body workout. Regardless of which type of yoga one practices, the benefits are inevitable, according to Myhren, helping one grow closer to their spiritual core.
