Yoga for Absolute Beginners: Sukhasana and Dandasana
In this class, David shows you how to comfortably sit on the floor in two of yoga's more common seated positions, easy cross-legged (sukhasana) and staff pose (dandasana). He also helps you understand some of the basic yoga principles as you learn how to stretch your body effectively. This class is a part of a 'Yoga for Beginners' series.

I have lordosis, or commonly known as 'swayback' and I'm a bit worried about lying on the floor, or trying to sit up and push my lower back forward when my back is already pushed forward by weakened muscles. Any tricks around this?
This class was my very first experience with yoga and I came out of it like "It's already over?" I'm working on getting my fitness and diet on track and was very pleased with this introduction. Can't wait to do more! After work I feel drained, but today I'm ready to face the evening! I feel so relaxed! Huge shout out to Every Damn Day Fitness for directing me here!
This class is absolutely perfect for first timers in yoga. The pace is very calm, very soothing as it should be, has mindfulness put into it, the focus on the breathing... Fantastic, thank you.
I would also like to add that I have back problems due to long term exercise in a bad shape, so it was extremely important for me the focus the teacher had on the back curve and position. Will never forget that.
Much love to all of you. Namaste
I'm so grateful to learn yoga first time here.
Thank u so so much!!
