Start Here: A Yoga Course For Beginners
With Kari DohertyThis five-day video course is designed for anyone who has never done yoga before or who has tried it and felt lost, intimidated, or out of place. Each session builds on the last, so by day five, you will have learned a complete foundational practice you can return to anytime. Days one through four are approximately 10 minutes each. The final session is a 20-minute restorative floor practice, a gentle landing place at the end of the week. What you'll learn: child's pose, cat-cow, downward-facing dog, ragdoll, halfway lift, high mountain pose, a basic sun salutation, supine hip openers, and savasana. Each session emphasizes breath awareness and sensation, two foundational skills that make yoga accessible and meaningful beyond the mat. No prior experience required. A yoga mat is helpful. Blocks are optional but recommended.
Learn foundational poses, breath work, and body awareness in 10 minutes a day
