Steps
Step 1. Make sure you have the right equipment, listed in the Things You Will Need section
Step 2. Warm up with stretching
A couple of minutes is enough. Also make sure not to eat two hours before exercise.

Just put your feet on your thighs. If you struggle, try this variant.
The Half Lotus is simpler, just cross your legs as if you were sitting normally
Step 4. The Relaxation Pose is very beautiful and easy
Lie on your back and spread your arms and legs. Take several deep breaths to relax further.
Step 5. The Cow and Cat Stance is a moving pose
Rest your knees on the ground and curl your head into your chest (this is the cat position). To be a cow, lean forward a little more and stretch your head. Repeat several times.
Step 6. The Mountain Position is also very easy
Stand up, close your eyes and place your hands on your chest.
Step 7. Keep practicing until you master the moves
