Yoga can be very simple in practice, but also provide immense benefits. Take this pose for example - Pyramid Pose (Parsvottanasana).
Even at the most basic level, demonstrated here by Shelley, the pose provides a deep stretch to the hamstrings, calves and hips alongside an improvement in balance & a strengthening of the legs.
Over time, the amount you can hinge at the hips will increase and your upper body will lower further towards your front leg. You may even reach the point where you can place your hands on props such as yoga blocks, or even the floor.
We stabilise from our centre, manipura chakra, building fire, will power and confidence rather than letting gravity pull us down to the ground.
