Anyone new to yoga should start with these three poses, according to a yoga instructor

A woman stands practicing yoga in a living room. She is standing on her right leg, with her left leg bent and her left foot placed on the side of the standing lower leg. Her hands are held together at her chest as she looks forward. Behind her we see a couch, chair, low coffee table, decorative shelving and a large lamp.

I love yoga. It’s great for stretching out tight hips and shoulders after a long day at the desk.

The breathing techniques are excellent for mental resets, the meditations help me focus on what’s important and the single-legged poses help me maintain my balance.
