What are the Top YOGA Asana poses to change your physique??

I’ve dabbled with yoga but am looking for the top 5-10 yoga asana’s that work the best and give you a better physique. I am a believer in this form of excercise but like to see results and knowing what I am doing is going to give me results and make me stronger…

All the asanas are good for you, however, if I were to choose only 10 poses for a beginner to do in order to work and stretch all your muscles, here are my choices with some of their benefits

In no particular order:

- downward facing dog / adho mukha svanasana: strengthens and tones the arms and legs

- triangle / utthita trikonasana: shapes the legs, builds the chest

-tree / vrksasana: tones and strengthens shoulders and legs

-extended side angle / utthita parvakonasana: builds stamina, strengthens the joints

-warrior II / virabardasana II: strengthens the back and abdominal muscles, makes arms and legs more powerful

-standing forward bend / uttanasana: improves circulation, stretches hamstrings, stimulates the organs– stomach, liver, kidneys and heart

-upward facing dog / urdva mukha svanasana: makes the spine strong and supple

-headstand / sirsasana: increases circulation to the brain, strengthens the entire body (if you are a beginnner, please do this against the wall)

-shoulderstand / sarvangasana: refreshes the body and soothes the nerves, improves functioning of vital organs, glands and nerves

-paschimottanasana / seated forward bend: stretches the back and hamstrings, invigorates abdominal organs

For reference on how to do these poses correctly, read “Light on Yoga” by BKS Iyengar, or “Iyengar Yoga for Beginners” by the same author. You can also find an index of poses in www.yogajournal.com

Shadow Yoga, Chaya Yoga: The Principles of Hatha Yoga
$9.47
In Shadow Yoga, Chaya Yoga, author Shandor Remete shows how to utilize yoga to enhance all aspects of physical and spiritual health. Focusing specifically on the hatha tradition, the book delves deep into original Sanskrit texts, explaining the theoretical foundation of yoga in clear, encouraging language. Remete describes the shadows noted by classical yoga teachers that block the student, and shows ways to move beyond them. The book covers the key concepts of traditional yoga--the marmas, chakras, vayus (sources of energy), and nadis (flows of energy through the body)--before turning to the yogic techniques that improve their condition and functioning--asana (poses), nauli (abdominal exercises), pranayama (breathing), mudra (gestures), and laya (absorptions). It closes with illustrated sequences of the most important asanas. Shadow Yoga also discusses various little-understood, oft-neglected aspects of yogic training, such as the role of marma points (acupuncture-like energy points) and the influence of the zodiac. Detailed drawings of the body's energy system and its links to these elemental and planetary forces provide a visual guide to these largely unknown areas of yoga. This knowledge, considered essential in Indian yogic traditions, has been almost entirely lost in modern Western schools of yoga. Author Remete restores that information in this beautifully designed book.

The Yoga Sutras
$98.79
We know there''s more to the yogic path than asana, or physical postures, but how do we access the deeper wisdom of yoga philosophy? More than 2,000 years ago, the legendary master Patanjali answered this question in 195 pearls of insight known as the Yoga Sutras. Now Sanskrit and Ayurveda teacher Nicolai Bachman offers The Yoga Sutras, a complete course with a fresh new approach to working with Patanjali''s seminal text for guidance and inspiration on your own journey toward clarity and happiness. Illuminating Wisdom for the Serious Yoga Student Why do we react the way we do in certain situations? How can suffering be an opportunity for growth? Why are nonviolence and truth important to a student? Patanjali''s sutras offer an illuminating perspective on these questions and more. To help integrate this wisdom into our modern life, Bachman offers a unique approach.

Hatha Yoga
$19.98
Long considered essential reading for Hatha Yoga students and teachers, the revised 20th anniversary edition of Hatha Yoga: The Hidden Language presents 22 classical Hatha asanas with in-depth investigations into their symbolic natures. Swami Sivananda Radha explores the mythological meaning of each posture as she encourages the hatha yogi to stretch beyond the physical. Building on the classical foundations of an ancient tradition, Swami Radha brilliantly synthesizes the ancient wisdom of yoga with an understanding of psychological and spiritual facets of contemporary life. With this approach, one can penetrate the mystical messages of the asanas so that the body is truly understood as a spiritual tool. It was twenty years ago when Swami Radha first introduced the transformational Hidden Language method to students interested in going deeper with their practice. Now, with expanded instructions on how to incorporate the Hidden Language method into a personal practice, beautiful photographs by Derek Shapton and an introduction by ascent columnist, Swami Lalitananda, the 20th anniversary edition of HLHY is essential reading for the serious student of yoga. ?This book contains the insights of an extraordinary woman who dared to look deeper into the practice of asana to experience wholeness, which is the essence of yoga." ? Sharon Gannon, co-founder of the Jivamukti Yoga method ?Swami Radha's book has been on my bookshelf since it was first published.

Yoga Abs
$10.48
A unique vocabulary exists that ascribes a variety of emotions to the belly: "my guts are in a knot," "I knew it in my gut," "gut-wrenching," and "no guts, no glory." Yet too often, more emphasis is placed on the way the abdomen looks than how it feels and functions - a sterling six-pack can mask true abdominal trouble. Yoga Abs outlines a series of exercises, yoga poses (asana), and breathing practices designed to achieve optimal health for this crucial area, which houses the organs of both digestion and procreation. Drawing on her experience as a yoga instructor and physical therapist, Judith Hanson Lasater discusses the anatomy and philosophical aspects of the abdomen and offers a set of movements that create awareness of important muscles while developing and maintaining abdominal strength. Each exercise and asana lists the props or supports needed, safety guidelines, and practice instructions, and the book includes practical guidelines for moving mindfully through everyday tasks.
