To help maintain your yoga practice while traveling, here are four poses you can try:
- Mountain Pose (Tadasana): This grounding pose centers your energy. Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart and your toes facing forward. Engage your core and lift your chest, while keeping your shoulders relaxed and your gaze forward. Hold for 5-10 breaths.
- Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana and Bitilasana): This pose improves flexibility and stretches your spine. Start on your hands and knees with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Inhale and arch your back like a cat, lifting your head and tailbone. Exhale and round your back like a cow, tucking your chin to your chest. Repeat for 5-10 breaths.
- Downward-Facing Dog Pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana): This pose stretches your hamstrings, calves, and shoulders. Begin on your hands and knees with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Spread your fingers wide and press your palms into the mat. Tuck your toes under and lift your hips up and back, straightening your legs. Keep your core engaged and your gaze down at the mat. Hold for 5-10 breaths.
- Child’s Pose (Balasana): This relaxing pose helps to reduce stress. Start on your hands and knees with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Sit back on your heels and bring your forehead to the mat. Rest your arms by your sides, palms facing up. Hold for 5-10 breaths.
These are just a few of the yoga poses you can do while traveling. By incorporating yoga into your travel routine, you can help to stay on track and feel your best.
