This pose is Half Lord of the Fishes.
Yoga is a way to de-stress and strengthen your body. A number of different poses exist in yoga. Many are basic and can easily be performed by anyone. Other poses are advanced and require more experience. There are precautions to consider with all yoga positions carry, particularly if you suffer from joint or back problems.
Half Lord of the Fishes
The Half Lord of the Fishes pose involves sitting on the floor and sliding your left foot under your right leg to the outside of your right hip. The left leg is laid on the floor, still bent at the knee, and the right foot is placed firmly on the floor on the outside of the leg leg and the right knee is pointed toward the ceiling. After you have achieved this part of the pose, place your left arm on the outside of your right knee, exhale and twist your torso so you're looking behind you. Place your left hand on the floor directly behind your butt. This is a more advanced pose.
If you have back problems, you should not perform this pose, as it requires a lot of twisting.
Lunge
In the Lunge pose, both hands are placed firmly on the mat and one leg is extended all the way back. The ball of your foot on your extended leg is placed on the floor. Your other foot is placed between your hands and your leg is bent at a 90-degree angle. Keep your head straight and stretch out. After you hold the position for a few seconds, switch legs.
It is important to keep your neck straight, as injuries to the neck can occur in this pose. Also, do not perform this position if you have neck problems.
Downward Facing Dog
The Downward Facing Dog pose is one of the most recognized yoga poses. Get on your hands and knees. Lift your knees away from the floor, lean back stretching your hands in front of you and push your buttocks toward the ceiling. Your neck should be straight and your eyes should look toward your feet.
If you suffer from carpal tunnel, have diarrhea or are in the last term of your pregnancy, you should not do this pose.
Child
If you're doing the Child pose, get on your knees with your legs together. Stretch your hands in front of you and lean back on your heels. Drop your head to the floor and hold the position for a few seconds.
If you have bad knees, put some padding such as a towel under them. If you suffer from acid reflux, you can open your knees a little bit to give your stomach room.
Bow
The Bow pose is for more advanced yoga practitioners. Lie on your stomach and bring your feet as close to your buttocks as possible. Reach back and grab your ankles. Pull your feet away from your butt and your thighs away from the floor. At the same time, your torso will bend back. Press your shoulder blades together and look forward. Hold this pose for 25 seconds.
Do not perform this pose if you suffer from insomnia or migraines or have blood pressure, or back problems.
