10 Basic Yoga Poses for Beginners

Mountain Pose or Tadasana

Type of pose: Standing

Though this is not a famous position, the mountain pose is also very important. In this pose, your alignment should create a straight line from your heels to your head’s crown. The pelvis and the shoulders should also be stacked along this line. A good yoga instructor will show you more about this pose in the class and remind you to slide down the shoulders to the back and keep your weight on the heels. [3]
