What it is
The second technique is alignment: how the body is placed so each posture is safe and stable. Good alignment is what lets a beginner hold a shape without strain.
How to practise
- Build each posture from the ground up — feet, then legs, then spine.
- Stack the joints so the bones carry the load, not the muscles.
- Check the shape against the photo, then breathe into it.
Common mistakes
- Forcing depth before the base is stable.
- Letting the lower back collapse.
