Yoga is celebrated for its mind-body benefits, and practicing daily can improve flexibility, strength, balance and mental clarity. However, if you’re new to yoga, it can be hard to know where to start.

That’s where yoga teacher Maria Therese comes in. She has created a five-move routine to help you build strength and flexibility. These are moves she recommends for both beginners and advanced yogis, which can be done as a standalone practice or as a warm-up for more advanced yoga poses. Therese demonstrates each move in her video below.
